I've been given the report that was sent to the LEA from my ds's educational psychologist with regards to his assesment for a statement. In the 3 page report she states that although he already recieves support he is making very little progress. That his behaviour seriously impedes his learning and is very demanding of adult time, and he will need ongoing special needs support in order to access the curriculum. So I'm assuming (hoping) that she might also feel that a statement is needed. She also mentions possibility of a suitable school placement when he joins juniors.
The thing thats bothering me is her final paragraph. It states
"Although I have worked with school staff and I have observed J in class I feel that a very important piece of work remains to work with J, his parents and with school staff when he transfers to junior school to more effectively understand and manage some of the difficulties that relate to J's inappropriate behaviour at home and at school. I would suggest that the critical issue is the extent to which it is possible to work with him, his parents and school staff to more effectively understand and manage some of the difficulties that relate to autistic spectrum disorder'
Although initially I read it that she was implying that outside support would benefit the crossover to his next school(or am I reading far too much into it? and would a statement in fact aid this crossover anyway), my dp is convinced that it is a criticism on us as parents that we are not involving ourselves enough. What do you think? I don't know why I'm bothered about it so much now anyway. I think after months and months of having this statement on my mind I'm over reacting to the slightest comment.
