Tell me if school didn't believe you.

[Babieseverywhere]

If you thought your child was struggling and your school did not believe you. Your child behaved relatively/ very well at school but melted down more in school runs and at home.

Who was right in the end ?

What did the school say do in response to results ?

Good grief, I really didn't expect this many responses. I hope everyone is getting the support they need from school now or very soon.

oh yes we're at an outstanding too! still in primary. actually I showed our HT a video and he still refers to it now. seemed to strike a chord!

Sadly no. In practical terms (by that I mean having access to relevant and appropriate support) we've always been on our own, but at least we hadn't any unprofessional non-experts interfering in ds's care. He's always had what was right for him personally rather than crappy off the shelf, generic resources that are expected to fit everyone's needs and end up suiting no-one.

Actually, now that ds is doing so well (at 15), people are still disbelieving his diagnosis because it's less obvious than it once was, so we still have to go to great lengths to convince relevant agencies that he needs certain kinds of help. I guess it's just how it is.

I think nursery knew something was up with DD. They were great listening to me stressing about her all the time . I didn't push for a referral during that time because nursery were so sensitive to her needs and I wanted to see what happened when she started school.

Her keyworker wrote her a letter at the end of DD's time at nursery and there are a few comments which I suspect are acknowledgements of her 'problems' and I will use them to back me up when she has her first paed apt in a weeks time and I am bricking it.

DD's teacher was visibly shocked when she saw DD having a meltdown one morning, although she was very caring in trying to diffuse it and get her into class. I've not really involved school with anything else because I went straight to my GP with mum to back me up.
