So.
Have had the paed letter/report and the GARS-2 questionairre to fill in and have the appt booked with the HT for 9am thurs morning.
Basically, the paed does not think ds1 has autism....the letter states he may have "subtle asd traits" (?) He also said he does not seem to have any mild CP (great news!) and that he witnessed "some meaningful social interaction" at clinic.
He as asked for ds1 to be assessed by the Ed Psych and that he feels ds1's problems mean he needs to be assessed for dyslexia (yeah, right, I've been telling anyone who would listen that for 3 years!!!!)
I already know - from a very brief chat with the HT last week - that they are not getting the EP in. I must have looked pretty pissed off because she then said "we arent being obstructive, he needs to be seen by the spld (?) team"
Not sure how I feel about this tbh. The letter requested an EP evaluation so why isnt he getting one? What is spld?
I am also a bit that the special needs teacher is going to be in this meeting...she has only seen ds1 about 3 times (she has had to have a lot of time off as her husband has been ill) and when she did the initial assessment on ds1 (back in jan) she told me she had "no concerns"
I am not trained, but even I can see ds1 has many issues wrt literacy...he has major tracking and convergence issues. He is going up to year 4 in Sept and is currently reading at a year 1 level.
He still guesses at HF words and gets words mixed up/wrong way round. His writing is HUGE and he finds cursive very difficult.
Surely, that would raise some concern? surely??
Really dont want to lose it in the meeting but am really afraid I will.....am so sick of teachers telling me "hes fine!!" when I know he isnt.
Advice, please!!!!!!
