my 6 year old son has mild cerebral palsy and goes to a mainstrem school.his left side is weaker than right. we were told theat some children with cp may have concentration problems.
my son is below average on everythina ta school, last parents evening,i asked the teacher was he good at anything ,his reply was " some children arent good at anything"
total arsehole,
my son had 1-2-1 support for 1 afernoon each week in nursery and reception, this was mainly 2 see how well he was doing with his left side, he was managing well so they stopped it half way through reception.
the teachers say he has problems concentrating and is behind with everything,
i had a meeting a few weeks ago with his 2 teachers and special needs coordinator from the school, i asked for him 2 get some kind of support even if its just 1 hour per week, i was told there was a 3 year waiting list and that they would contact other "agencies" as they called them into seeing wat can be done !!
so i have yet anither meeting at the school next week with some1 from the special needs section at local council,and his teachers.
the top and bottom of it is, my son doesnt concentrate at school and i feel that if he had a bit of extra support it would benefit him greatly, im not saying he would come on in leaps and bounds but maybe hit some of his targets.
wat do u think ?
