1) Is half an hour a week enough?
2) Would having an ed psyche report help at this stage?
3) Would an ed psyche report have to be done privately because we are in the private system?
Thanks for your advice.
1) Is half an hour a week enough? You would need an assessment to fully understand your daughter's strengths and needs, and for recommendations as to type and length of interventions.
2) Would having an ed psyche report help at this stage? No need to wait until year 4, she can be assessed now. Assessment would help you to understand strengths/difficulties and what needs to be put in place with regards to her learning.
3) Would an ed psyche report have to be done privately because we are in the private system? In theory no, she is entitled to access Local Authority Services. In practice yes, as such services are limited in time and may not offer assessment services, just consultation. If you seek a private assessment, please note that the school are likely to expect you to fund any interventions that are recommended, as they are an independent provision.
