My ds has Aspergers and is currently out of school but receiving home tuition from the LEA. The LEA have agreed to assess him for a Statement at long last. What I wanted to know is, do I ask the LEA to do a Dyslexic assessment, would it be part of the one the EP will do or should we get it done ourselves. My worry is that the LEA, if they don't know about the Dyslexic status, would not be able to do the "right" Statement for him or put it in as a provision in his Statement.
I suspected long ago that he was Dyslexic and asked the school to get an assessment done but they pooh-poohed me. Why did I not go with my gut instincts and INSIST they got some sort of testing done.
