Hi all
Its been a long time since I've been on here, so please be gentle.
My DS was diagnosed with Dyspraxia in September, but we have many reports highlighting his additional needs in the six months prior to that.
He has been at the same school since 4, and is now 10. They have given many comments over the years such as "can you teach your son to climb out of door ways" or "well he does run a bit funny" when raising concerns about bullying. The whole process has of diagnosis has been completely unsupported by school.
I have been quite naive as to what I can expect from our Primary, and had presumed that once we had OT recommendations & a formal diagnosis things would "fall in to place".
However I've realised this week (six months after OT full recommendations), I have realised that the school has no formal plan for my son (first report & recommendations given to school in Feb last year) and no apparent planning to offer any support going forward. They have also said that the rough plan they do have is an internal document which they had no intention of sharing with us.
I guess I would like to hear from others as to what options I have open to me. I have spoken with the support agency within our local council, but the school have told me that there is no funding for my son, no TA support and little they can do. They have admitted that the OT/Paediatrician recommendations haven't been followed. They even went on to say that funding for a statmented child further down the school has been used to support my DS as if this should make me grateful... I was gobsmacked!
I would like to hear from parents who have moved to private school, or found primaries who do take Dyspraxia seriously...
Thank you
