no statment

Mum of J

Hi its the first time i have come on line my son(10 years) was diagnosed a year ago has ASD not Aspergers but was told he was nearist their on spectrum for when looking up info by doctor. He struggles with writing i have noticed this is not helped by the fact he continually reads through all he has writen often ever few words, and often writes over words again. He was recently turned down for staitmenting as he is very bright but i am worried as he goes up to senior school in a year and he will struggle moving from class room to class room. The class he is in at the moment has a high level of statmented children so although they see him as not needing support he has had it since reception. I was also told on a corse i went on we should be claming DLA but i can noy see how has he has no physical needs other than any other child of his age. any advice would be very welcome Thank you.

  • The form has to be based on how your child is for most of the time. Therefore, by doing it on their worst day, you're claiming they need more help than they get. The help must be reasonable. It doesn't matter who provides the help.

    When you do the form, you need to break each activity down. For example - getting dressed. Can your child pick out suitable and clean clothes? Will they dress themsleves or do you have to do it? Do you need to remind them that they need to change their clothes? And so on. I think there are tick boxes on the form to help you with that.

    You have to spell it out for them. They are not going to assume that your child with ASD has problems with communicating or getting around out doors, etc.
