Additional information for SA

[connieruff]

Hi,

I have send copies of documents with my request for a SA, and have received back a form which thanks me for my request and asks me to complete the enclosed form. The form asks me to tick as appropriate: 5 boxes,

1) I enclose my views

2) Provide at a later date within 29 days)

3) Wish to discuss in person

4) I do not wish to provide my views at this stage

5) I do give my consent for information on my child to be shared with a range of professional as appropriate

6) I do give my permission for my child to be seen by an educational Psycholgist.

 

I have given them all of the docs that I have , and a written report on why I think my son shoud be assessed (ie he's a year behind, although of average ability and next term I have been told that there will be no help also he has emotional problems which make it diffcult for him to learn unless its very much 1 2 1.

As he was so behind I have been giving him 10 minutes a day extra help. and I was shocked that he seems to have a lot of trouble with very basic sums, ie 2 + 3 - he sometimes says 23 and sometimes crys and says he cant do it.

There is a definate problem there, I think it may be dyscalclia.

Dont get me wrong I dont push him, but do you think I should mention when I send the form back?

Thanks

I would say yes, the more information they have the clearer picture they will have. What I would not do is put a name to anything, better to leave that to the 'professionals'. Just tell them what you see.

 

That is what I did, still waiting for the out come.

 

Good luck.

The bit I was thinking about is under ''preparing your report'' but the rest might be useful too.Karen.

Thanks - this was very helpful, I cut and paste the whole lot into a Word doc and have tailored it to suit my sons circumstances. This website is invaluable.
