Did is 5 (66months as one of the oldest). As part of her EHCP application school included her levels. I've been consistently told she is completely on track but now I'm not so sure. What does the low/mid/High mean more precisely? I knew her speech and emotions was an issue as she has a speech disorder and related frustration but thought she was comfortable otherwise.

Listening and attention 30-50 High
Understanding 40-60 High
Speaking 30-50 low
Moving and handling 40-60 low
Health and self care 40-60 mid
Self-confidence & self awareness 30-50 High
Managing feelings and behaviour 30-50 mid
Making relationships 30-50 mid
Reading 30-50 High
Writing 30-50 High
Numbers 40-60 mid
Shapes, space and measure 40-60 mid
People and communities 40-60 low
The world 40-60 low
Technology 40-60 mid
Exploring and using media and materials 40-60 mid
Being imaginative 40-60 mid

Well, we use 'Emerging' / 'Developing' / and 'Secure' but I presume they translate the same.

If someone is emerging / low - then you are seeing the odd thing in this band.... some skills that the child is just beginning to start presenting with..... it might be they can do one of the skills but not most of them

'Secure' / High - would indicate they do this stuff all the time / without thinking about it. It is the way they 'present' "automatically" , wherever they are, without relying on other external factors. ie they'd still do it if their regular teacher / Key person weren't there and someone they didn't know were there..... or they were in a different place from normal..... or they could transfer the skill if using slightly different equipment and so forth.

'developing' / 'mid' is going to be somewhere between the two - is doing this more regularly, but needs something of a prompt, or needs to be concentrating / thinking about it / used to the 'set up'

If she is completely 'on track' across all areas, then why would there be an EHCP application in ?

@backfire thank you, that makes a lot of sense. She has a significant speech sound issue which isn't improving and is behaviourly quite challenging for school but they had been saying developmentally she is where she should be except for the speech.

Although they also said she had friends after I kept asking and then in the form have written how socially isolated she is and that she doesn't even seek out other children.

Feel like I've had a lot of information thrown at me after being told she was fine for so long

I contribute to EHCPs in my job. You have to put it quite bluntly to get an EHCP e.g. they might be suporting her to play with other children but she finds it difficult to do alone. Also, they may have trouble assessing her if it is difficult to understand her, or she doesn't co-operate, so may not be able to mark her higher. The EYFS is very weighted towards speaking, being able to explain ideas and so on, which can be more challenging if speaking is tricky.
