It's the start of a new year in school, back to full classes, staggered drop off and pick up times and all that brings its own problems for our children. It definitely does for ours.
My question is about a yearly recurring event though. Every year we have to fill in a "Consent for regular & local non-hazardous, off-school-site activities (EDVIS13)" form. One question on there reads: "My child has the following lifelong condition or disability"
I never fill anything in there, but always wonder if I should mention developmental trauma and attachment difficulties.
Earlier questions on the form already talk about
- "my child has a condition requiring regular medical treatment or medication",
- "any illness, accident or injury suffered by your child which staff should be aware off"
- and "my child suffers from the following allergies",
all of which are mostly on the physical side, before "My child has the following lifelong condition or disability" comes up.
What do other parents do? Just curious.
Thank you!
