Hello,
I'm new to this forum. My son is in year 4 in mainstream education. He was diagnosed with sever dyslexia in year 3, and has now received an ASD diagnosis. Please, if any one can relate to this as a parent, or person similar to my son, I would appreciate you're insight.
My son has dyslexia and ASD. he is in year 8. I also have ASD and dyslexia. My son has a EHCP, get 1:1 in school.
Hello, my son too has an EHCP, and 1 to 1 support is not specified, but he can't work independently so does get lots of help. I worry about him making little progress in literacy, and worry about secondary school. The school have struggled with his dyslexia, and now struggle with his ASD. I sometimes think the dyslexia is the most difficult aspect for him, because it causes meltdowns and low self esteem at school, but then I realise how sensory issues effect him too. He also has visual stress. How are you 2 coping, and what works? Please let me know your opinions.
