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

  • Hi Kerry,

    It's so hard at the moment as I don't know anyone who has been or is in a similar situation so everything I am learning is from the Internet.

    We have already been to the GP who has refered us to the specialist which is the apointment this month. The SENCO at my son's school gave me a list of key words to use at the GP's but to be honest he was on a bad day anyway so she could see for herself. 

    I will start keeping a diary with his behaviour and quirks, then I won't forget anything that could be important for the appointment

    My son finds it difficult to look to the future, so changing class won't be an issue until September. It took him about 4 months to settle into Y1 though and every morning he would tell me he hated Y1 and wanted to go back to Foundation so I am expecting something similar when he moves. At least he will have had the assessment by the time he goes back so things can be put in place to help him adapt.

    Good luck with your GP
