Teacher, senco, AFASIC suggested going to GP to get a referal for diagnosis of dds language difficulties. Afasic's advice was to ask for referal to a Childhood Developmental Centre that specialised in communication disorders (eg Ryegate in Sheffield).
Had a "debate" with the GP and the long & the short of it is that he said NO as he doesn't believe in labelling children as it does no good.
He conceded that if I could find a suitable person to diagnose locally then he may refer, though made it clear he knew no-one in such a position. Sanctimonious prat.
Please don't ask why a SALT hasn't diagnosed...one said it wasn't her field 
and the other is leaving language therepy to the HI team who now need a diagnosis to understand what they're dealing with....
Teacher/senco urging me to fight but what can i fight when there's nothing there?
