DS aged 8 and in year 4 (dx of mild ADHD and dyslexia) has not made any sub-level progress in literacy and numeracy since starting at his junior school 2 years ago. He has gone up 1 sub-level in his reading. Apparently he does not 'fit the criteria' to be statemented as he is not 'bad enough'. However, government dot org website states that if your child does not make progress under school action or school action+, which is what ds is on, the school can apply for a statment. Obviously school are not keen to apply ... why would they not want help/money for him?? I just don't get it 
He has an IEP and gets 4 hours a week under SA+ ... and apparently lots more. So if his getting all this help, why no progress? Oh, and by the way ... they think he's bad enough to medicate, but not statement WTF!!
