Does the CAHMS Autism group deal with all SEN?
My son has handwriting/writing difficulties - I asked teacher to contact Ed psych for support. I also mentioned he often says she doesn’t care if he doesn’t do homework and doesn’t particularly care about schoolwork, but didn’t think it a big deal. This is a common occurrence throughout primary and usually a no nonsense approach has always sorted it out ( this is a newish school and new teacher).
I was sent the report. Instead of seeing any Ed psych recommendations regarding his writing, or a mention of his vision difficulties (which I thought was the whole purpose of the meeting - he was assessed several years ago), I got a list of ways to improve social interaction and understand the importance of learning. The report was from the autism and social interaction group and looked very much like they were describing an ASD child!
I was told this is normal and my child is not being considered for autism and was only to help prepare him for secondary school. Does this sound about right?
