Diagnosis letter arrived from CAMHS 2 weeks ago. Daignosed ASD, naming Aspergers.So I arranged a meeting with partnership-with-parents ( to support me), senco, head, teacher, and school link worker.
Diagnosis recommneded EP assessemnt. I requested an IQ test as part of that, and although objected school finally agreed.
Pwp asked them to contact outreach. they objected and then agreed. so an asessment will be done by outreach. aswell.
pwp asked school why no SA or IEP and they said no need. said thta ds displays no problems at school. and so refused to set up SA or IEP.
they basically dismiss everything. dismiss the diagnosis. saying "they see no evidence of anything". when asked about why ds was not doing so well acadmically, seeing as he's so bright (although he is doing very well), head said they thought his lack of prediction skills and lack of comprehension was down to "immaturity". so thus, dismissing empathy and theory of mind problems that paed and clinical pyschologist and also the CAMHS diagnosis letter, had highlighted.
So basically, I got nowhere.
PWP said, don't push, lets wait for the EP assessment.
He currently gets no assistance what-so-ever. Nothing. other than 'emotionally literacy on a monday'. He gets NOTHING ELSE.
And many Mn'ers have suggested moving schools.
And applying for a statement.
Both of which I am considering.
I did threaten school with applying for statement. pwp said that LEA woyuld laugh it off, because school haven't even done some of the basics yet.
But in the meantime, waiting for EP assessement and outreach assessment, is there anything I should be doing, in the meantime?
I have basically been discharged from Camhs. I have an appointment with a new paed in sept. I went to the old paed sept last year. he said there was nothing wrong with ds, come back in 12 mths. since then I got myself into CAMHS and now have a diagnosis. So when I meet new peaed, I am hoping that 'something' will begin.
Please advise what I should be doing next.
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
