Hi have two ds's 7 and 9. Last year changed schools to private (non selective) as both struggling at their state. Felt really happy as took long time to make decision and felt that now we could be sure they could settle long term. School asked me to have DS2 assessed as was really struggling. Report stated that he has really low IQ (71) and that he has spatial awareness and language problems. Had meeting with SEN teacher who said he would need extra lessons to help him and also suggested that longer term the school may not be for him as in years 5,6 and above he would really struggle. She suggested that in state school he may even be candidate for a statement (which knowing how these things work know will be impossible). I feel gutted as there doesn't seem anywhere for him to go and also he has grown to love the school. If he had dyslexia that would be ok as they have special provision in all their schools to help. They have also suggested that DS1 be assessed as they feel he may be dyspraxic. Any suggestions or advice would be really appreciated as totally new to all this.
Thanksx
