DS (3) has recently be diagnosed with autism.
At the Assessment we were advised not to initiate Statementing until EP has been sent written their diagnosis.
This is now being held up by lack of a typist so the team have contacted Early Years SEN office who has seen DS at nursery twice this year.
She has given nursery a one sheet 'Request for Education Psychologist Involvement with an Under-Five Child'
It has the following info on it
- name, address etc
- 'Issues causing concern' - nursery has put lack of the following: interaction, communication ability to follow simple instructions, eye contact and speech
- 'Changes desired' - nursery has put: formation of clear words, independent come and sit down at circle time, mixing with peers
then
- 'What are parents views about the involvement of the EP ? Their written comments are welcome'
There is an inch of space for me to write below this heading
I don't know what to write - my ultimate aim is to get him Statemented and into the local special school. This is just a little request form but I am aware every comment that goes on record counts
What sort of thing should I write and should I limit it to the inch of space or do an attachment and go for it
TIA
