I have posted before but am still struggling.
My DS is 5 and has just been assessed by CDC for dyspraxia. I am awaiting the report but they felt that there were not many physical symptoms apart from poor core stability but that lots of sensory issues. He is an intelligent boy but
The school appear to be struggling with behaviour issues: ie
can't be left to do individual work as he will get up and walk around
doesn't listen
doesn't sit on the carpet
refuses to do his work.
yesterday as he was standing up, he pushed down on his friend in front of him on his neck and pulled and twisted his hair to help him get up.
The teacher IMHO appears quite weak and "has been too busy" to do a reward chart for him that she promised him at the beginning of the week.
She appears to not know how to manage him as threats of losing golden time or playtime don't work and the behaviour continues. She said that she is having to spend most of the day dealing with him. Does this look like just being naughty to you or maybe something else?
When I said I hoped that the report would suggest 1:1, the response was "well who do you think is going to fund that then?" Am I not right in thinking that if my son needs 1:1 then the school must fund it and if they won't then I need to get him statemented. I am very concerned about him becoming disaffected with school as he already says he hates school as all he has to do is work. He is also missing out on learning as he isn't concentrating on learning.
He is getting Fizzy 1:2 at the moment once a week. We got cats yesterday which seems to be good in teaching him gentle and calm behaviour at home.
I am lost at what I need to do next apart from wait for the CDC report which was from a physio and OT.
Thanks
