DD is Dyslexic and has severe Auditory Memory issues so will have a statement when she goes to secondary school next year. (it's being written now)
Does it make a difference when picking a school? I have heard that having a statement will make it easier and basically give me our pick of schools despite over subscription and a lottery system.
And also - is there anyway to see what kind of SENCO department a school has or will I need to ask them directly?
I'm so nervous about picking the right school for her. She just wants to go where her friends are and luckily, this school has a good reputation generally but I'm not sure about the added support she'll need.
