DS2 is 4.8. He has SEN, but has no official diagnosis. Speech therapist, OT/physio & paediatrician seem to agree that he has social communication difficulties, query speech disorder & hypermobility. He is at a mainstream school & has been awarded 32 hours support per week (spent on 1:1) until Easter & the school have just put in an application to have this renewed. This process involved a visit from an Educational Psychologist who said that he saw no reason that DS' hours would not be renewed.
My question is, would a child with this profile qualify for DLA or would he need to have a firm diagnosis of e.g. autism in order to qualify for DLA?
Thank you in advance for any opinions or experience on this - and Merry Christmas!
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.

Can a child with no formal diagnosis qualify for DLA?
