We are currently applying for statement for ds (4 with ASD dx). He is in a mainstream preschool with 1 to 1 support and starts reception in Sept. We thought he was doing well, seems quite bright and is very verbal but with some language delay. Most of the time he seems to cope quite well but he can be unpredictable and aggressive at times.
We have received his SLT report and at the end, when she talks about provision to meet his needs, she seems to be asking for things that can quite clearly only be provided by a Special school.
This has taken us by surprise. Should I try and get this in prospective though. Is she just listing all the things in the hope that his ms setting will provide some of them? She has asked for things like a highly structured teaching system such as TEACCH in an adapted classroom environment and it is likely that X will require a higher level support that is usually available in a mainstream school in order to implement the programme.
Feel sick tonight. I need to remember that we know ds best and she has only seen him 3 times. Any words of wisdom appreciated.
