If your child is then identified as not making progress the school will set up am meeting to discuss this with you in more detail and to:

•  Listen to any concerns you may have too
•  Plan any additional support your child may receive
•  Discuss with you any referrals to outside professionals to support your child’s learning

Schools and other agencies can help most children overcome their difficulties quickly and easily.  But a few children will need extra help for some or all of their time in school.

This means they may have difficulty with:

• Some or all of the work in school
• Reading, writing or maths
• Understanding information
• Expressing themselves
• Understanding others
• Organising themselves
• Sensory perception or physical mobility
• Managing their behaviour
• Making friends or relating to adults
