[QUOTE="mouseee, post: 2681792, member: 511004"] [USER=566099]@ravensmitten[/USER] I am a teacher of ....cough cough.... many many years and things have luckily changed in many settings. Speaking from experience, we are really aware of children who are neurodivergent. I'm not sure i had any children with SEN at all when I started nearly 30 years ago. It'd definitely worth a word with the teacher to see how they can support her. You don't have to have a diagnosis for accommodations to be made. The girl that started my own research used to listen to wave noises on headphones when working and I know that I stopped badgering her to get on with her work and started asking her what she needed to help her focus. I also had another boy the same year also probably ADHD who didn't finish a mother's day card of a teapot, in fact had hardly started, when I asked him why, he said, 'As soon as you mentioned teapots, that's all I could think about.' If that question isn't asked or the answer understood then it's what will be happening all the time and they will get in trouble!! A diagnosis can be useful (with or without meds as appropriate) as they move on to secondary I find, as the teachers don't have the same knowledge of individuals. [/QUOTE]
