I finally got the school to listen, which means I can no longer stick my head in the sand with the "oh, shes the youngest in the year" hypothesis.
The school say after some sort of "screening" that doesn't give a diagnosis but indications that DD is dyslexic (moderate to severe), her teacher said that we could have an external test done and she suspects she would rate as severely dyslexic but not to waste our money as it wont change what the school do. To be honest, we can't really afford it, but would scrape the money together if we felt it would help, we woudlnt be able to do this just yet, but maybe in the summer? (would have to save up).
So, we have a meeting with the SENCO do discuss their report and a way forward for DD.
I am very happy with DDs school and DD is so very happy there (the most important thing) but it doesn't have the best reputation in terms of SENs so i am worried that she wont get the specialist help if she needs it?
What questions should i be asking?
Thanks guys x
