Re: OT - help needed for another mum with undiagno...

Thanks Mandy

The Senco at the school has recently retired and I'm not sure how experienced

the new one is but the head is very experienced in SEN and my friend has a

meeting with her next week so I'll make sure she asks. She's a bit panicky at

the moment as the School Nurse told her they don't consider assessing for ADHD

until 6 years old?? Can't believe that is right! I've also passed on

Griffiths name to her as she is very local to us and we've seen her with Archie.

Unfortunately this wont help get a diagnosis of any kind though, which I think

is what she is looking for.
