My DS7 has had an ASP (Additional Support Plan) for two years at primary, since the end of P1.
Having been seen by almost every health/education professional service there is he now has a dx of dyspraxia and has been assessed as very able (Scottish for academically bright).
Now that there's a dx and lots of info about how hard stuff like writing is for him, and now that there's starting to be a gap between ds and his peer group in class that's caused mainly by his writing skills, (with a bit of concentration difficulty), should I be pressing for an IEP (Individual Education Programme) for him? I think in our area this would mean that he needed support out of the classroom or one-to-one on the basis that he couldn't access the curriculum fully.
Does anyone have experience of the Scottish system and able to offer advice, please?
SfL teacher said in her opinion he didn't need IEP, but I'm finding out that even the very good professionals aren't always right and can take their time to figure it out. Meanwhile, ds is going into P4 and still hasn't settled in school, doesn't want to go there most mornings and is nowhere near achieving what he can do with one-to-one help.
I feel I left being his advocate too late this year (class teacher very good with ds now but obviously thought he was naughty until I spoke with her about dyspraxia). I'm so worried that I'm not doing my best to sort things out for him.
