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

  • Wow! I didn't realise this could potentially be such a long process! There's me naively thinking.......referral from GP to Paediatrician, a week or so....... assessment by paediatrician (gather facts from school, then appointment to discuss details) a couple of weeks........bit too optimistic maybe? Hahaha! I guess I shouldn't be so impatient!

    Is your next appointment with the paediatrician? 

    I wonder if there is a different time-scale in different local authorities?  Or perhaps it's just a process that takes a long time for everyone.
