Can I get help from my child’s school?

22 July 2010
It is always a good idea to discuss your concerns with your child’s class teacher first. You can also arrange an appointment with the schools SENCO (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator), who you can ask to investigate your concerns and discuss whether they feel a referral to a Local Authority psychologist or other support teacher for an assessment is necessary.

If you do decide to have your child independently assessed then it can be beneficial to maintain a good dialog with the school and, if appropriate, that they are involved in the process as much as possible.  However, it is your choice whether or not to involve the school or other third parties.
