I am an AuDHD parent and my child shows many autistic traits (social communication, sensory, emotional regulation difficulties, and high anxiety around school).
I first raised concerns with teachers at Reception and formally requested SEN support and support for an autism assessment in September.
Since then, the school has said she is being “monitored”. I have had several SENCO meetings, but there is still no clear SEN support plan in place.
I emailed and officially asked:
what specific support she is currently receiving
what interventions are in place
and what the next steps/timeline are
I was shown a diagram/triangle explaining "stages. She is somewhere between “monitoring” and “SEN support”, but I still don’t understand what support she is actually getting in practice and it was so unclear I still don't know nothing.
I feel stuck and frustrated because nothing feels clear or consistent, and I don’t know how long this “monitoring” stage is meant to last.
