High functioning and private/independent primary

[AprilSkies]

Does anyone have any experience of sending their high functioning child to an independent primary? Did a dx help or hinder you?

Ds is so capable and progressing so fast with Aba/Vb, that I think a dx might just be a negative label and a hindrance to him. My ABA consultant agrees, does anyone have a similar experience?

It looks like he would not get a dx of Asd but of social communication disorder. Can I delay the ADOS assessment for a while?

It is a pretty traditional school. Learning support is already included in the fees.

Thanks cozzie and zzzzz.

Our SALT observed DS1 at school and made a list of suggested strategies for the class teacher to adopt which was very welcome.

Good luck!
