Further to my thread about my dd being excluded and a couple of people mentioning statements, I thought I would bring it up with the school.
They said our LA (Essex) don't give them out much, and when they do, they don't if the child is not behind academically, which she isn't. She is very able, but challenging work causes her to lose confidence, which in turn is a trigger. (she has emotional/violent outbursts which differ in severity and can be caused by one thing or a bunch of things)
How likely is it to get a statement with no diagnosis? I know I will have to fight. The school want her assessed for ASD as they believe she is showing some traits. She was seen by a peadiatrician in January, and should be reviewed again next January.
She is on a 'last chance' in that if she hurts anyone again, they won't hesitate to permanently exclude her.
It's all a big nightmare.
