My original post enquired, where parents of children who have been diagnosed with Dyslexia go to for secondary education.
My son currently receives two one hour sessions on a one-to-one basis in school. Which I think is brilliant. He has come on so much in the year in which this has been operational.
I had on my list of secondary schools, English College (application already submitted to primary section a year ago), JESS same situation as with English College application. DESC, Dubai British School.
Are there any parents with experience of these schools. I am in the right ball park, or come September am I going to be bitterly disappointed that he doesn't get offered a place.
With regards to SEN support in UK state secondary schools, it is very hit and miss, no different from here in that sense. It is all funding related. Schools are reluctant to diagnose as the councils can't fund the support needed, as a result, the children struggle through as best they can.
I have a fairly independant child, who enjoys sport, having a go at most things, is very polite and well mannered. Has been described as 'a pleasure to have in the classroom', I just need to get his next step right for him.
Hey there, were you able to find help for your son? Please share how he is doing now.
