Appreciate your reply have asked the senco teacher at the school to request it for him, but said he can't that request it myself through the gp as you said and he will be better with medication, that's why I am worried.
Thank you.
He said the plan is a long process and that it is not guarantee that he will get one
Good Afternoon it’s great to meet you today.
I am one of a team of Community Champion’s here at Scope.
It’s great to see that you have already had some good info from Poppy.
Please let me know if there’s anything else that I can help you with???

It looks like @poppy123456 has already been able to give you some advice and information. As she said, we're not able to provide medical advice, but hopefully you found the links she gave helpful.
You might find this page on SEN support and the EHCP process useful, and I'd also recommend you have a look through the discussions in the Parents and Carers section of the community. For example, you might find this discussion relevant to your situation.
Please do let us know if there's anything else we can help you with! I look forward to seeing you around.
