Have had moderate concerns re TDS1 and his behaviour in school for a few years, mostly concerning keeping still/fidgety, can be a bit cheeky towards staff and a bit 'in your face' with the other kids, not aggression, just a bit, well, in their space, I suppose - although this has really improved.
In a nutshell we have seen a dev paed twice - once in R and once in May (then Y3) We have also seen, at school's suggestion, an OT. The OT was by far the most helpful and informative, the report suggested 'some slight sensory processing issues' mainly around sensory seeking behaviour and school must allow him to move around discreetly from time to time (run errand, pass out stuff in class, toilet break etc) Paed simply said 'we may never get a definitive answer to what's causing him to act up, come and see us in 12 months'
We have never seen an EP - school have never mentioned it to us. Some years are way worse than others - R was awful, Y1 maybe spoken to five times, Y2, awful, three times or so a week, Y3 we weren't spoken to 'til March - not once. Just into Y4 - nothing so far. Should we be pushing to see the EP? Should we be doing anything else? A bit lost really, can't think of anything else we can do.
