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

  • They have stated that they won't start an EHCP until they have the evidence to support it and although we have been telling them sadly only now since the diagnosis are they beginning to listen. But it feels like at times they think she is coping but you can see that she isn't. We have lots of visuals and she has her own area when she can relax and we have seen a huge difference in her by giving positive reinforcement. I made contact about the parenting copurse and sadly after the age of 9which our daughter is they couldn't assist however did point me in another direction and have given lots of things to assist. 

     proud of our daughters daily achievements that I want to make sure we are doing what's right for her And that is definatley getting the right support for her

    thank you again
