help with sats etc

[em83]

im really worried about my ds,he is 7 and has left hemiplegia...it seems as though he is struggling more and more with his subjects at school, apparently it is because he has a lack of understanding of language (eg back to front could be perceived as inside out to josh), he does get 2 hours support from a special educational needs assistant each week, to try and develop his understanding of language, he is also currently on the waitin list for salt (speech and language therapy)....
he finds all subjects increasingly hard at school, he learns things but finds it hard to reatin them in his head....even a simple maths sum eg 5+2 he finds so hard, he will spend ages thinking about it and then pick a random answer such as 4... he is half way through year 2 and these kinds of simple sums should have been what he was doing 18 month ago, his reading is very poor as well he is onlevel 5, whereas others who are in year below are already on level 8 ,and the children in his year level 13.....
he will be getting his sats exams in may, and is expected to read the questions and write the answers by himself, in all fairness i know he can not do this.... i have been to see the headmaster to ask if any extra help will be given to him as he has extra needs and was told no.....
is there anything anyone can suggest ? as its really getting me down
any advice really is appreciated
thanx

I would withdraw him. Seriously. There is no educational value to them and he can be 'ill' on that day. Especially if you know it will not work for him, don't put him through it.

Or - insist he is seen by an educational psychologist who will look at his ability and make recommendations as to 'reasonable adjustments' that can be made - if his reading levels etc. are low enough, he would be entitled to a reader/ scribe.

If he has to do them, minimise their impact to him as much as possible. They're littlies, FFS - SATs don't even really matter later on, let alone at their age! (I'm a teacher, btw )

head teachers head teachers is all i'm going to bloody say, having a battle with one here too!!!

he was saw by an educational pscychologist who assesed him and the outcome was refer him to salt
feel like im going around in 1 big circle....
he has an IEP, does this mean he is on school action plus?
all his IEp targets are

1. remember full stops and spaces
2. remember his key words
3. recognise the "igh"
4. recognise that the same word can be spelt 2 different ways (OF, OFF etc)
5. throw and catch a large ball

Personally I'd not have him sit the sats and look into special schools.

But you should have had a copy of EP assessment with some scores. Have you got it? If you can put what they are, it might help us puzzle this out

will have to dig them out.... scores of 3 and 5 maybe 7 rings a bell
