With Tatijana, we got the low level DLA because of the additional costs we incur because she is unable to access things like her peer group. Her Seizures mean she cannot use local transport and cannot go around town independently.. she needs support .

 

 The school got nothing and we have not ever had anything towards her schooling I think anything like this would have to come from some sort of educational statement... where very little is gifted to children in need.

Its not educational support they look at but support in their care ( I think ) over and above what a child of their age would require?

We're not sure if our younger boy is exactly on the spectrum but an independent Ed Psych has written us a report which shows that whilst he's great in some areas he has a learning disability in others. Does anyone think this might make us eligible to claim DLA for him or something similar? He needs support (which is why he's in a small private school) but he's going to need more help transitioning to secondary and we're skint. I wondered if anyone else had a kid " on the cusp " and what they'd been able to access.
