Just filled in a form for adhd. I feel certain DS has this but school keep saying "while he has some difficulty we wouldn't have referred him as we have children with a lot more difficulties"

I feel he is intelligent but this masks the adhd. I feel like he is not achieving his full potential. Anyone managed to get a diagnoses of any SN without schools support?
Also hoping for any advice? Or good luck wishes.

my grandson did
the school said he was a model pupil

why waiting ehcp got emergency placement at special school.

special school done there own assessment got e/p

from old school to new school reports differered so much got ehpc and permanent place at ss
he still has bad days but has come on in leaps n bounds and settled well.

ss even has there own paediatrician so hopefully diagnosis soon.

Thanks both j am so nervous appointment is at 3.

If your child needs support, he needs support, totally irrelevant if there are worse children than him. I am sure there are but that is not an excuse to ignore your son's needs.

Good luck - are there two of you going - we found this helpful so we could take the child out of the room at points if we didn't want them to hear what we were saying.

Unfortunately it's just me as my dh has no time off left. And u mum will be picking my dd up from school.

Well doctor was going to give adhd meds then realised he hadn't had school report so phoned school where head teacher down played everything and cHms changed his mind . Apperently my DS is very ahead in reading so apperently can't have adhd

How frustrating. Does the doctor have plans to observe him in school so he can make an independent judgement?

He did say that he will monitor further.

Thanks polter I'll give that a try.

that's what our school told paediatrician model pupil.
that's why they permanently excluded 2months before.

lucky we had school diary with all relevant stuff recorded by class teacher
