They are so different from county to county. In South Gloucestershire your child goes to a nursery for 6 weeks and get accessed. Its 3 mornings a week and they have lunch. You go in an talk to the professions on hand and with all that information they come up with a conclusion. He loved it and although they are accessing 4 children at a time, they were brilliant. I know others just go in and have to talk to someone for a bit and they observe your child for an hour, over 2 or 3 secession and decide from that.
I found the experience on my son a really positive one. We knew something was wrong, so this was just conformation and could hopefully get him the help he needed. I think my ex took the news harder than I did, but he was still our little boy, and still is. He's now 6 and thriving everywhere but school (it has really gone down hill since he has started and now they are kind of bullying him. Its parents week next week so I'm going to have a go at them)
