Hi

The last thing I want to do is spoil your thread in any way

My eldest son is in his 30's and when he was about 6/7 I went round to the school and voiced my concerns to be told go home and be a mother and let the school deal with the problem I trusted him and since then tried on several occasions including secondary school since then he was diganosed about 4 years ago too late for his ecucation

Good Luck

;-) ;-)

Sadly, if you can't enlarge on that Annie it is no help either way. This is not intended to be an us against them thread, nobody is accusing teachers, head or otherwise.

AnninGlos, Thanks, but she still gets no help from the school,

I suppose it all depends on your post code

Roy I am pleased that your Granddaughter's parents were finally vindicated. My grandson's Dysphasia was not discovered until six form college and from then on right through Uni he got help. He was given a lap top to use and extra time for exams plus a helper if her needed it. He overcame his problem and went on to get a degree. I wish your granddaughter well.

My grand daughter, had allways suffered with Dyslexia
her mum and dad spent extra time with her at home to try and help,

The school kept saying that their was no problem with her and refused on numerous accounts to have her tested Because they said that the testing had to be done by a specialist who the school would have to pay out of their budget and they did not think their was a problem so in their opinion it was a waste of money.

She is now in her second year at secondary school but in her first year her mum and dad got called to a meeting with the head master to be told that they think she has dyslexia and was told that it should have been diagnosed and dealt with at primary school,

Despite this the school are still offering no help but thankfully she is doing very well as she is talented in other ways but i just wonder how much better she would be without the dyslexia.

Her brother just started at the same school no problems for him, he as and still is top in his year at all his subjects and that's been the case ever since he started at primary school

Thank you Puss.

i missed out on a education because teachers were not trained to loo for this.

Puss copy it into your browser search. Or, do what I do sometimes, copy it into word, the press control and click mouse at the same time.

Bracken, this is for teacher training, i.e. before they become teachers. advance a wareness is not a bad thing, please don't try to sabotage the petition. I don't have a problem with my children's schools, I am 71, this, as I said came from my daughter in law who did have a problem, she didn't instigate it, the person who did, did have a problem. So nor all schools are as good as yours obviously is.

We all attend courses at the local Education Centre and we have internal courses on P.D.D's that's what they are for

If you feel let down by your school/staff get intouch with the L.A or offstead

If your child has already been statemented and you are unhappy about your child's education see your school SENCO

my laptop wont let me upen the link, Ann if you have this on your FB account i will do it from there xx

think i have the security set to high. :-S

Maybe your school Bracken so thank you for that information, however not all schools do, and in my family teachers have been quite ignorant of both dyslexia and dysgraphia.

As a person that normally works in the classroom but not working at the mo as mum has needed me this last six moneths due to major surgery

All staff within school attend courses on Dyslexia among other special needs ;-)

I am also hopeful that there will be some signing from the 30 odd who have viewed the thread and who may not be able to post.

thank you Sandra, Hazel and Libby. :-)
