Extra time. Primary school

Brooke1

Hello,

i was wondering if anyone can help me. My daughter is 9years old and been diagnosed with Autism, anxiety and ocd disorder and chronic tic disorder (possibly Tourette's) mainly all vocal tics. she is currently on medication for her anxiety. Tests and times tables and exams totally stress her out which then triggers her vocal tics even more so. I am trying to find out if she would be entitled for extra time for these tests/exams. If anyone knows I would be truly grateful and she is a perfectionist and always wants to complete her tests but is begining to struggle.

thank you

    The first answer is that she should be given extra time. You might find it useful to talk to IPSEA https://www.ipsea.org.uk/ who advise on special educational needs

    If a 9 year old is on medication for anxiety then I would wonder if she is in the right school. Some mainstream schools are ok for some autistic people (I am presuming that she is in a mainstream school?) but some are unbearable. Equally some children with autism will thrive in a special school.
