DD's (8.5) teacher flagged up a possibility of Dyslexia at parents evening last November but wanted to monitor (junior school and y3 so had only been there 6 weeks). Parents evening just last week has yet again mentioned Dyslexia this time with more confidence that DD is in fact Dyslexic.
Teacher told me that nothing needed to be done at this stage, she's already going for one on one lessons to help improve her memory (wasn't told about this-so was a little pissed about that). She has basically said I need do nothing until she starts seniors as they have the provisions in place to deal with it.
I have since talked to others who say I should not accept this and that the SENCO should be my first port of call. This morning I asked the school for a meeting with the SENCO-they said they'd ring with an appointment....no phone call yet. How long should I expect to wait to get an appointment to speak to her? And more importantly what do I say?? Once I actually get sat down with her I need some idea of what I need to do as I'm clueless!
I just want to make sure my DD gets any help and support she needs.
