My DD is 7, just started year 3. After discussion with her new teacher it was decided that she needs to be assessed for dyslexia as she is still struggling with basic writing etc and also she is unable to focus. She generally keeps it together at school behaviour wise but lets her frustrations out at home. Teacher advised I speak to GP for referral which I have done this morning, GP has said he can't do it and the school need to do. Called the school, they say no. GP has to do it. I'm stuck now with both refusing to make the necessary referrals for my daughter's education. I knew I would end up having to fight for some support for her but this is ridiculous! Who is supposed to do it? I'm keen for this to happen asap as she is so frustrated with her teacher having expectations of her beyond her abilities. Hopefully once things have been set in motion those expectations with be changed and support put in place.
