Where Now

Hello I have a 5 year old son who was diagnoised with autism just under a year ago, we were a bit shocked as we thought he just had speak and language delay. He started school in Sept and settled well and is making good progress with just a few blips along the way.

We have just completed 6 sessions at the SACC clinic and I have just received there report. Why when you see these reports does it not make you feel very positive, it recommends the school go for a educational statement to support him further. My understanding is that this can take 6 months does anyone know why this takes so long.

Thanks for the advice. When I have spoken to the school in the past they said that they felt my son was very boderline which makes it a bit more difficult. They feel that he is currently managable but unsure of how he will be in the next year or so.
There is parents evening next week so I will be able to discuss things further, and see how we can progress.
