i have since summertime last year visited my GP asking for an assesment for my 5 year old ds. for behaviours that concern me i.e bouncing off the walls every waking minute morning,noon,night, ill or well attention span is low, seems to have low understanding of danger charges headfirst into situations, listening is terrible.demand avoidant, obsessive behaviour, etc and did absolutely zero.because then he was under 5. They did offer me parenting classes which i took,because " if they decide to do it later on you can say youve done them" 
a course which has no SEN angle but its free and cant do me any harm. The HV agreed to ring his class teacher to ask about my concerns and rang me back about it which was nice , then rang me again due to something else onthe paper work and again to schedule a home meeting to discuss moving forward which ive had to do at a fairly inconvienient time. Im just about done with it all tbh i feel so distegarded,dismissed and low and powerless and lost faith in everything. Im being led a good merry dance at my expense, to prove 'im worthy' of help , when what i asked for is an assesment, i wish id never bothered what an utter waste of time meanwhile my son is just left to drift. If theyve no intention of helping my child i wish theyd just say so and leave us alone.
