Special educational needs

[thetruthwillsetyoufree]

Hi I have a son with Autism, SPD, Dyslexia, OCD and Anxiety.
He recently had a educational psychologist report done and his results are as follows
verbal comprehension 96 percentile 39
perceptual reasoning 101 percentile 53
full scale 99 percentile 47

working memory 83 percentile 13
processing speed 83 percentile 13

basic reading 72 percentile 3
spelling 77 percentile 6
number 86 percentile 18

From the results above what type of support would you expect to see in the classroom, I feel a 1-1 or at least a TA should be supporting my son. He is currently in a mainstream school moving to a specialist high school, we do have an EHCP but the wording is not specified or quantified ( I am currently trying to sort this out)
the EHCP states additional support to access the curriculum , school are saying this should be from the class teacher alone I disagree. Advice would be appreciated

thanks in advance

Do the numbers reflect his true ability or not? Honestly they seem like good numbers. But then again I’m not experienced enough to tell you for definite. We

I think if the level of class work in his specialist high school is within his ability range then he might well be able to access the curriculum without a 1-1 (his numbers aren't too low). What is he like in terms of concentration and behaviour as that might be a better line of reasoning in terms of getting him 1-1 support?

Processing speeds would suggest extra time to complete assessments and exams. However it looks from the scores as if basic literacy is the first barrier to him accessing the curriculum, so one to one support for that perhaps, in and out of the classroom.

If he's moving to a specialist high school, class numbers are smaller, and the teacher should be able to support his relatively weak reading in lessons. Few lessons will involve a great deal of reading, much more time spent interacting with others and group work.

Before he moves on to secondary, he may be seated next to someone who can help with reading issues in class.

Were you told what kind of processing speed the EP test involved? there are several sorts.

in the non selective independent I work in, a profile like that would typically result in:

• Maths, English and French learned in a small, 'bottom' set which might have a gap student/TA in it as well as the teacher some of the time.
• 1 or 2 individual learning support lessons a week.
• 25% extra time in exams if the paperwork was in place.
• Individual learning plan to be followed by subject teachers
• A designated 'safe space'/time out zone
