Schools with sensitive SEN department?

[Skin_deep]

Dear all,

I am currently seeking a new primary school place for my 9 year old son. He was recently diagnosed with Developmental Co-Ordination Disorder (Dyspraxia). I have been advised by Educational Psychologist that he can succeed in mainstream but will need a sensitive SEN department.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

We live in the Denmark Hill/Herne Hill area but willing to travel for the right school.

Thank you in advance.

Hi

Every school should have a 'sensitive' SEN department but it so often comes down to the individual SENDCo or Inclusion team. DCD can be successfully accommodated in schools. Talk to the SENDCos in your preferred schools and share your concerns. Your son's diagnostic report should also include recommendations you can share with the Inclusion teams.

Good luck.
