Assessment this month

LaylaG

Hi. Our 5 year old son is having his assessment this month as we and his teachers think he has Aspergers. I have a few questions for those of you that have got passed this point.

I am not sure what will happen with this and I really don't want to miss anything out when we speak to the peadiatrition. Should I make notes of his behaviour?

Also what will happen afterwards? His assessment is the day before he finishes school for the summer so when he goes back he will be in a different year with different teachers.

Thanks in advance

  • Hello Layla,

    I will be following any replies you get with interest as I am on the same route as you!  My daughter is 9 and, like you, myself and her teachers believe she has Aspergers.  I saw the SENCO at school today for a brief meeting to ask where I go from here and she told me that I have to see my GP for a referral to a paediatrician.  So that's my next step, also like you, I don't know how much information the GP or paediatrician needs.  According to the SENCO they will gather a lot of the information they need from the school, but there are obviously different behaviours at school than there are at home.

    Perhaps you should write down anything in your son's behaviour that you can think would point to his Aspergers?  I will be doing the same in the hope that this is what they require.

    Afterwards?.......I suppose you wait to get an official diagnosis, one would assume in writing.

    How is your son about changing class and teacher?  I know Leah is feeling nervous and scared, they are helping her with the transition to her new class and new teacher, so hopefully she'll feel a little more prepared.

    Good luck with it all, Kerry.
