My LB is due to start primary school in September, he is a July baby so he will be one of the younger ones
I’m really worried that he just is not ready for school,
He has a diagnosis of delayed development and is query FAS (from birth mother) /autism and has a VUS genetic anomaly - we are still waiting on assessment, but his nursery are really unhelpful, the Senco has stated that they do not think there is anything wrong with him from their viewpoint so are unwilling to address my concerns. I have involved the neurodisbility team but due to COVID we have not been able to have a meeting to discuss this.
My concern is that my LB cannot do things independently that his peers of the same age can do - he has started potty training and can access the toilet but cannot clean himself, he cannot dress independently, can’t use cutlery and has oral sensory issues so struggles to eat.
He has little ability to understand simple tasks/questions etc
His development is around 12/18 months behind other children his age
Any advice on where to go or who to address my concerns to?
