My DD has had her app with the kidney dox today - and here's me trying to be prepared for a more general appointment about getting her an assessment (app was scheduled for her normal consultant - they changed it at the last min)
So, kidney doc as arranged for another app for 4 weeks, where i can discuss DD's difficulties. He has instructed me to obtain a report from her school detailing how she is at school. So, i am now appealing to other m'netters to help me try and figure out how to ask school!
DD was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder in 2004, but apart from a little work with the EP (circle of friends group) she has had no further input from anywhere. So, she has fallen further and further behind her peers - she is now 12. School are aware that she has difficulties in mixing, following instructions, clumsiness etc, but no statement.
Her OT did mention that she had a few aspergers/dyspraxic traits, so it is this that i would like her assessing for really, but not sure how to set about it. When reading other posts on here, and from working with other children on the AS, i can see that she is very similar.
BUT, i am not sure how to word letter to school - in that i dont really know what is important to the consultant or not? I was thinking along the lines of a list of specific questions - perhaps to her class teacher of head of year, as i know she has only seen the SENCO twice. But should it go to the SENCO???
Sorry for the long post - turned out a lot longer than i thought lol! Anyway, what i am really asking for, is for help in choosing which questions to ask school?
if you have got this far, thanks for reading
