Ds is in p2 and in November (start) we were told by his teacher that he might hve some additional needs. It's now MArch and we are no further forward in terms of any diagnosis / help / advice / info.
I have been told he's in a queue to be assessed but they don't know when that will be. I feel really quite stressed that he will potentially be in p3 by the time anything gets acted upon. He's the youngest in his class anyways so really doesn't need anything else holding him back. He definitely has made progress this year from my point of view but I don't know if is enough iykwim?
Things which were highlighted as potential issues were:
Poor pencil control when drawing and writing
Runs strangely (I've never noticed this)
Isn't as good at things like catching and kicking as e should be
Forms letters strangely
Gets letters back to front
His teacher is lovely and seems very good but I think the process is being held further up the management ladder. I just don't know how much of a 'fuss' to create - I've already been in a lot lately over bullying.
The bullying was only an issue with one boy in general ds is a very happy and popular boy, tends to be shy but LOVES school.
Any advice?
