Hi there, I'm looking for anyone with recent or past experience of having a child with ADHD and anxiety sit the 11+ within Essex, particularly with KEGs in mind. My son has ADHD & is part way through a formal NHS diagnosis (ongoing for 3 years+). We've had the initial diagnosis but are waiting for the QB test still, I'm not sure if this will happen before the 28th June deadline, so have to assume it won't. I will ask the school for a supporting letter with regards to adjustments and allowances that they have in place for my son at his school - fidget toys, sitting at the front, regular breaks etc etc, support for anxiety. I'll also provide any recent medical letters from his paediatrician.
Will this be enough to secure him special considerations? I'm thinking at the very least he'll be able to sit in the front, or in a quiet area if he's feeling stress. I'd love to think he could also have extra time if needed, but am guessing this might be unlikely given he only occasionally gets extra time at school.
He's a very intelligent boy and does well academically, so there's no doubt in my mind that he should sit the test, but I wonder how likely it is they'll make any special arrangements for him, and am looking for advise to best secure these arrangements if possible.
Many thanks in advance
