My DS has had some developmental delay. His fine and gross motor skills are delayed as is his speech, but we believe he will catch up. We are told he will not qualify for one on one help in class or a statement as his understanding and cognitive skills are advanced. I am looking at independents for him as I think he will really benefit from a smaller class size and individual attention. He is currently 2 years old so would start in nursery in September. One of the schools has suggested he might benefit from joining the year below as he is a summer child, so being one of the oldest could be an advantage for him. However I am concerned that there are negatives to this and that he might suffer later on. Does anyone know of any potential problems I might face if I hold him back a year, or is it a good idea?
