My DS1 has had difficulties with social skills, concentration, fine & gross motor skills and various other things, since he was at nursery.
He is now nearly 7 & school have expressed concerns since he started in reception. I am getting increasingly (sp?) worried about him & after looking on a dyspraxia website, I noticed he ticked pretty much every box.
I have shown this list to the SENCO at the school, who agreed & made a copy for his class teacher, but she doesn't seem to be pushing for assessment of any kind.
I then spoke to my HV & she told me that he would need to be assessed by an Ed pysch, but that it would have to come from the SENCO, not a gp.
I was just wondering if anyone could give me any info on where I should start & what I should do.
TIA.
