Forgive me I know next to nothing about statements and am just starting to realise that my lovely son may have some additional needs.
He is in yr2 and academically doing really well but has behavioural issues. He has an attachment disorder that school don't understand and he is viewed as a naughty boy. He needs behavioural support in the classroom and playground but probably not all the time. School won't have him assessed but complain constantly about his behaviour. The behaviour is what we consider fairly low level, some pushing and shoving, arguing with adults, not always following instructions to the letter.
We just don't know what to do. We feel he is definitely in the wrong school but don't know what the right school is. Without a statement his options seem to be limited. We could afford perhaps to pay for an independent school but again how do we find the right school? Not many schools seem to know anything about attachment disorder.
Any advice really welcome ....

Would we have any hope of getting a statement.
