Can I get LA involved need advice my child has additional needs

[XButterflyx]

can I get the LA to do a assessment on my daughter she has had additional needs and is nonverbal, she is really struggling in nursery.

or do I need a IDP from school before the local authority gets involved HELP!

Has the nursery provided an IPP? I would suggest requesting an assessment yourself but ask the nursery to provide proof of her difficulties. If you request assessment of needs and the LA say no, you have right of appeal.
