Hi Lara

Thank you. We have been fortunate this year that his teachers red flagged him to us for more than a few small issues. They are happy to modify his learning to suit his needs as much as they can (so very helpful but it's been hit and miss there since year 1 when we raised concerns that something seemed to be amiss).
He will be leaving at the end of this year to go to a private school that hopefully will be better resourced and can properly accommodate his needs. We are awaiting an appointment.
Indeed you are right, all of the literature we have read stresses the need for them not to lose confidence or become anxious. Hopefully with the school having the knowledge of nvld they can help him navigate primary and high school with the minimum of stress - fingers crossed.
