Statistics have been published that indicate that 3% of children in schools are identified as having specific learning difficulties, yet over 10% of children are known to have specific learning difficulties. A significant discrepency!
To use a government phrase - 'in real terms' this means that in a class of 30 children there will be at least 3 children with specific learning difficulties, yet only one child will be identified as having such a problem.
So don't let your child be one of the unidentified. If you suspect your child may have a problem, you will need to have your child assessed. This is the start of the fight you must undertake! Don't be dissuaded, if you are concerned, until an educational psychologist has shown your child not to have a problem. The system is designed to persuade you there is no problem, it saves on resources and funds.
Remember this is your child's future you a fighting for, so keep up the fight to have an assessment.
