dyslexia

[Rogue]

ds1 is 8 years old, reading a year one book, got 7 out of 25 spellings from reception list, and still the school wont acknollege something is wrong, he is seeing s phsycologist as well as the lea is going to be there, ive argued and insisted the teacher take note he is finding it hard and she decided end of last term to move up to year 4 with him and keep him in her class as he is trouble getting into school and she made him sign an aggreement and she intends to enforce it....over my dead body!!! he is a nightmare at home and if he has homework it is very hard as having 4 children doing homework all wanting help on the same night takes forever.
any advise on how to make a teacher listen?

I haven't, I'm afraid. Has he got an IEP? A statement? To get some extra help for him in school. I know the school can get a child statemented so maybe you could talk to the headteacher about this... or request a meeting with the Special Needs teacher... I also know that a parent can request a statement from the LEA if the school refuses and the might be a voluntary advisory group in your area that you could talk to about this. I think I would ask around the other mums you know to see if anyone else's child has an IEP/statement and take it from there.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Have exactly the same problem with my daughter, I say have should say had, I wrote asking for statory assessment, knew I would not get it, but it did give school the "kick up the bum" they needed and she is now getting help.
