Hi - a worried and stressed mum!

Kell_2811.

Hi,

We’ve just started to get the ‘ball rolling’ in getting support for our 8 year old daughter who we have always suspected is neurodiverse. Behaviour has been managed at home until she started junior school last September when meltdowns have gone into overdrive and anxiety sky rocketed. She’s now also displaying self harming behaviours. We’ve reached out to our local family team and have qualified for her to receive ELSA  at school. Our problem is that school see nothing. She masks throughout the day and then is exhausted at home. I’ve always felt like our concerns have been dismissed as ‘she’s fine.’ We finally have a meeting with the SENDCO next week and wondered if anyone has any tips for getting them to listen so we can get help for our little girl and for our family!  

thank you Relaxed️

  • We had a similar problem. As well as keeping notes of what happens at home, we also noted what had happened at school that day. This showed links between the most difficult experiences at school and behaviour at home in the safe place. If you show the links they can't say it is parenting causing the behaviour at home.

    We also used the notes as part of an EHCP. When we finally got that it did help to get some adjustments at school, although some staff never really understood.
