Can't take any more :(

Sorry I just need to vent. We are going through a very tough stage with dd. we are in the midst of having her assessed through pead and ot/ physio. Results of her assessments have all come back really delayed (

Sigh.
Yes.
Sounds very familiar.

Hi Armani

All the emotions you describe are entirely normal & you are doing absolutely everything you need to do for your dd.
Keep pushing for that assessment.

The school sound like they are being bloody useless, although I can completely understand your need for consistency with your dd & her school please dont assume all schools are like this.
Have you looked at alternative schools locally as sometimes I'm afraid you really are flogging a dead horse. A school with the right attitude & one that is proactive in supporting your dd & workign with you & all those involved can make the world of difference.

Take care of yourself, sleep & relaxation (& wine) have helped me cope.

Thanks mymatemax. Yes I have been researching online other local schools in our area, but am aware that I will need dd statemented to even consider moving her. I'm hoping that the lea will assess and then I will look into it more. At first glance I have looked at a local ss online and the school ethos and provision looks brilliant but they only accept children who are working within their current key stage, which dd isn't.

I would love for her to go to a school where she is supported and can reach her potential, I'm positive it would have an impact on her behaviour at home. I just want her to be happy, at the moment she is fully aware and frustrated that she is behind her peers and not progressing :(

Armani, dont assume that another school wont take her without a statement.
You may find that a better school will more readily support you through the SA process.
There are many children that swap schools and when the real level of their need is recognised by the new school the statement & the correct level of support are easier to obtain.
Honestly it is so much easier to get the right support without battling the school aswell.
I also know of children attending SSchool that hae started mid SA process.
Keep all your options open, my son is in yr 5 & is very aware that he is behind (working at yr1 level)but he goes to a great school who work as much on his confidence as they do his academic skills

I would agree with max.
We moved schools for my son in year 3 and it's been a very good move from him so far.
