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

  • Sorry to hear about all the issues you have faced getting your GP to do what you asked for Kerry. It is such a long process anyway, any setbacks are so frustrating. I agree with Hope, as much as you want to read them the riot act you need to remain tactful yet determined. Good luck!

    My son had his assessment with the Paediatrician and we are now on the waiting list for an Occupational Therapy Assessment which could take another 18 weeks. I was (naively) hoping for the doctor to give his diagnosis and away we go with the balls rolling but again we are waiting in limbo and another school year will be halfway over before anything is set in concrete.

    He did mention Aspersers and Dyspraxia. I had never heard of Dyspraxia and when I looked up the signs it seems to be spot on for many of my son's issues.
