Could anyone please offer some help and advice, i am at my wits end! My son is 7 years old, he is loving and caring and very highly spirited. I have been aware since reception year that he may have problems. I self referred to speech and language therapist and audiology, we are still under these professionals. Each time we go for a hearing test there has been some loss, when asked what they are going to do about it, we are told that they will monitor it (how many years do they need to monitor it for???). My husband and i offer extra support at home to try and push him, he is around 18 mths- 2 yrs behind his classmates.
I had a meeting last week with the SENCo, she advised me that they would be applying for a statement in September for him, however i had an appointment with his class teacher yesterday, i was informed that because he had improved in certain areas of his work, he was now not considered as having SEN.
Whilst i am very pleased that he is improving i still can't help thinking that he does need more support, i can't stand by and watch him fall behind even further, and why should i? What can i do? do i start screaming and shouting now?
