    The main thing is support from school, as in my experience if they don’t see or won’t see an issue it’s very difficult. I had to get mine into referral to paediatrician via audiology as school were blinkered to what the problems were.

    Hi @SPC. Thank you for reaching out to us. You have mentioned looking for advice. Is this related to who to go to for getting a diagnosis or something else? I want to make sure I hear you as clearly as I can  :)

    Hello @SPC

    Have you spoken to their GP about having an assessment for them?
