Question:

Hi David, My son is also 10 and I have been asked if I would accept help from an Educational Psychologist to assess him as they think he maybe Dyslexic as he has the reading and writing age of a 6 year old. So I would like to know my rights on education and what they should offer to him as extra curricular. I often wonder if they had had him in school earlier if they would of picked up on it sooner rather than later. He was born 09.09.1994 but because the school year started on 06.09 they did not allow him to go to school until the following year by that time he was 3 days away from being 6 and almost a year older than the rest of the class. Any info would be gratefully appreciated. Regards Jackie

My son has been diagnosed by an ed psych with dyslexia originally 3 years go and again in july 2004.  He is 10 years old and now in year 6 of his primary school. we feel the school is doing very little to help him and each time we ask what is being done we are told they are going to have a meeting to decide.  By the time they decide what should be done he will be leaving primary school and going to high school! we are exasperated and need to know exactly what measures the school should be putting in place to help and support him. thanks david

One of my kids was diagnosed just before the summer break. That would be about May or June. He had a few tests, and we had a few interviews. Since he returned to school in September, he has been straight into a special lesson each day, in addition to extra reading that the school had implimented for him about year 3. He has an appointment with the OT. It all happened very quickly for him. One point I should add is that we made a fuss about the data protection act. The school couldn’t discuss the lads problem with the OT who couldn’t discuss it with the special reading teacher, who couldn’t discuss it with the school psychologist. So we made it clear that we had no objection to these people sharing information about our son. It may have help speed things up and it could have been the school who have a very good record of spotting and getting help for pupils with special needs. Oh ….. we are in Northern Ireland max.it
