because of DS's birthday (ie May) he doesnt start full time until January rather than september.
As far as i can tell, he will do 2yrs in F2 (Reception class) and then go to do Yr1 in specialist school. Which i am very happy with. I know they will ship him out before yr1 because of their stats. but the local special school has fantastic facilities (just had a rebuild) and lovely staff (who all sign!). Met a couple of mums (thru the hospital) who cant praise it enough.
In his present school, I have been told that he will get 'extra' provision (hmm, that would imply that he gets some form of help above norm now wouldnt it? ) for when he goes full time - an 'extra' 7.5hrs... what this actually means (i think, reading between lies lines,) is that he will get a dedicated 1-1 at break and lunchtimes to keep him safe, rather than any help academically.
DS does say a few odd 'words' but you have to A) know the child B) know what hes thinking, to understand. he speaks these words as though hes deaf - quite peculiar, i know his hearing is fine.
I was just thinking, how do you feel about a further dx of CP? We had a partial DX of "periventricular gliosis", but in a letter from the Paed to the GP it states "but i dont think that this is to blame for his difficulties" so im not sure what to think.
