11 plus tutors

NAS80794

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any 11 plus tutors that specialize in ASD children and their issues? hopefully online?

i have a 10 year old son who is determined to take the 11+ exam. Whilst he is extremely intelligent, and can score 100% on the tests, I can just see the anxiety building in him as he goes through the test and he cant manage his time. By the time he gets to the last section, he is making loads of mistakes as he gets himself increasingly worked up.

We have made it clear to him that he doesn't have to take it, but he is determined to do it.

Matt

  • You might want to look at getting help with his stress and anxiety.  The trouble is that there are not many cognitive behavioural therapists that work with children and adolescents - most of the private therapy "market" is geared at business.  Maybe the school  has access to counselling?  Check with other parents at your local NAS branch.

    There are also self-help books written for this age group - check put Amazon. Ask other parents for recommendations.
