  • Hi - is he on School Action Plus?  I would organise a meeting with the school SENCO and class teacher to discuss the best way forward.  Your post doesn't say how he is managing in school but more than likely he needs support.  A statement of special educational needs might well be the next thing to organise.  Either the school can apply or you can apply yourself as a parent.  Try having a look at the parent partnership website as they have useful information and links. 

    In the mean time it's important that his class teachers understand his diagnosis so they can support him in the interim period.  Hope this helps a little!
