im really worried about my ds,he is 7 and has left hemiplegia...it seems as though he is struggling more and more with his subjects at school, apparently it is because he has a lack of understanding of language (eg back to front could be perceived as inside out to josh), he does get 2 hours support from a special educational needs assistant each week, to try and develop his understanding of language, he is also currently on the waitin list for salt (speech and language therapy)....
he finds all subjects increasingly hard at school, he learns things but finds it hard to reatin them in his head....even a simple maths sum eg 5+2 he finds so hard, he will spend ages thinking about it and then pick a random answer such as 4... he is half way through year 2 and these kinds of simple sums should have been what he was doing 18 month ago, his reading is very poor as well he is onlevel 5, whereas others who are in year below are already on level 8 ,and the children in his year level 13.....
he will be getting his sats exams in may, and is expected to read the questions and write the answers by himself, in all fairness i know he can not do this.... i have been to see the headmaster to ask if any extra help will be given to him as he has extra needs and was told no.....
is there anything anyone can suggest ? as its really getting me down
any advice really is appreciated
thanx
