    Hi North London Mum,

    It sounds as though you did a really good job preparing for his assessment. I hope they can help him and you. :-)

    When you talk to your son, do you take proper turns with the conversation? Do you give him a good chance to take in what you have said and then give him a chance to think of an answer and then give him time to speak back to you?
