DGD age 8 has been assessed as special needs. She is bright as a button generally but struggles with the basics like English and Maths. She lacks concentration too. She has loads of out-of-school activities such as dancing, gymnastics and swimming and is likely to be joining a select group of swimmers later this year. She has boundless enthusiasm and isn't at all bothered by this diagnosis cos other children in her school are similar and she is fine with it. Her older brother is highly academic but there is no competition between them. They are very happy children.
As grandparents, we have some financial security. We would help pay for private education to get our GDD extra support. Would it be worth it, or is State Support just as good? Would a private school do any better?
