My 21 year old DS is currently in the second year of University. Since the start of Secondary school, teachers have pointed out his extreme disorganisation, forgetfulness and his tendency to make careless mistakes. He may also have Dyspraxia. He has poor coordination and was given a laptop to do exams on at College, on account of his illegible handwriting. He has severe problems with sleep and is also very fussy with food (will not eat anything which is a soft texture).
The problems with disorganisation have caused problems since secondary school, but are even more evident at university. I was hoping that DS could be assessed for ADD in order to access additional support with his learning. Possibly access to a study mentor?
If I go to his GP and pursue an assessment through the NHS, it will take too long and he will possibly been thrown out of Uni by then.
Does anyone know if I can pay privately for an ADD assessment? We live in Shropshire.
