Hi allWe have got as far as dd being assessed by ed psych and schools, ours and ed psychs report deadline. What happens next? School said she will get appointments for medical assessments but didn''t say what for, does anyone know who does these assessments and what they are looking for?Thank you Fran

If the child is already known to a Paediatrician then they write to them for reports and don't necessarily make appointments.

We went to see the paedeatrician a week or so again for a pre statement panel medical. The idea was to see if there were any medical problems that were causing his issues at school. From my point of view it was a waste of time. He asked if I had had his eyesight and hearing checked, he listened to his heart. He then said that he didn't need to see him again and that he would write a report for the SEN panel.

Really basic 'tick box' exercise in my experience. Wouldn't expect too much of it. But often the medical part holds things up and education can't make health comply with their timescales (this is the situation we got into - and there was nothing we could do about it).

Our SEN panel date was delayed while we waited for the medical assessment.

We got our one & only paeds appt this way & boy was it worth it. The dr we saw was fantastic & made all the difference to our application. It also got us a salt assessment which was also a clincher for the statement.
