Finally managed to get DS to doctors for autism referral, he refused last time to be assessed so this time I told him it was for money for the school for the TAs. That was fine, off he went Grin

DS loses everything still though school now help him with all the things.

DD is better but still came back 4 times the other morning saying oh just remembered ...

DD got reward points for Christmas reading - thought odd didn't notice DD reading and had offered to buy her books and she said no. Asked her what she had read, she said oh nothing I just wrote I had read they didn't ask what and I forged your signature - I was worried I might get moved down in English and thought reward points might help Shock

Ds has been remarkedly organised, however he says he's lost his maths book. He only gets it out at the desk at home and it isn't there, so I suspect the teacher took it in last term, and he missed when they were handed back and the teacher has forgotten.

We also have a sort of rule that school pencil case stays in school rucksack, and she has separate stationery for home.

teen will give this a go thanks. She really needs to be more careful of her own possessions

Froglet I have written my DD a checklist of everything needed in rucksack / PE kit for the start of a term. That helps her not forget things when she sorts stuff out. You just have to not lose it from one term to the next!

Hope the ped appointment goes well Dobbins

Think its more by chance he's better, he tends to be better this term and up to near the end of summer term, not sure why but first term is too long and lots of change.

That's great DS has been more settled Penguins, have the school implemented any of the Ed Psych suggestions?

Hope DD had a good first day back Froglet

No more hassle from PE. DS2 is very tetchy and grumpy. Still not well but that's nothing new Hmm. Paed appt next week.
