DS will be starting reception next september.
Of course we are already asked to 'pick' our choice of 3 schools in the area.
So, visited the nearest school to us,, ds's nursery is on the same grounds.
So far so good, their OFSTED report is very good.
Went for a tour of the early years unit,it is very big, 2 or 3 class with a max of 75 children.
I spoke to head of unit and SENco.
They were very nice and answered questions thoroughly.
Ds will be put on their Early years action+, he will have an IEP reviewed every semester or sooner if needed.
They will carry on with his nursery IEP to begin with.
They have not told me of how much school SALT provision he will have:
a lot will depend on report from ED.psych. who will assess DS sometime during this year.
They said they will look at his individual needs as much as possible.
So i left quite pleased, as long as all this talking and intentions do happen when he starts.
I have a question about DS's current IEP , we are to review this in a meeting next month, and one of the targets is "maintening eye contact" basically they are working on improving DS' eye contact which is very fleeting at nursery.
But DS has become obsessed with this, he constantly say "look at me mummy!" and he puts his fingers above his forehead in the manner the teacher do with him.
And his eye contact hasn't really improved at nursery it still is fleeting and short lived.
I would like to ask them to drop the eye contact target for now, as it is helping and creating more anxiety for DS atm.
Do you think i should?
Thanks.
