Long story short but my grandson is in my care and has been since 5 months old, loved play school and p1 was easier but he’s 9 this year, he can’t read or write and is distracted so has to be moved to a quiet room which doesn’t stay quiet for long, management has no time and it’s all about what they call a trauma, “trauma” what that his mum and dad split up and his dad was in jail for 2 years, he loves his dad and mum, at home he’s easily bored but very polite and helpful, he’s not perfect but in school he’s foul mouthed and he acts out and destroys things, the tried him in an exclusion hub (in a taxi 20 miles away), he was distraught but we kept trying until it ended a bigger trauma, no assessments and no tests done, I don’t drive and I’m 57 and absolutely tired and scared, I know this isn’t a quick fix but no education is wrong and it’s essential, why are they not bothered about this he’s failing behind more and more and I need a miracle here please
When your grandson was in school, there should have been a SENCO (special educational needs co-ordinator), who should have made a referral for an assessment. There should be an Educational Psychology service in your local authority. Have you thought that your grandson may have ADHD and not be suffering from “trauma” as the school said? See if your GP can help with a referral to a clinical psychologist. That’s how I got my son diagnosed.
Best of luck.
