Not an EP report as I have a similar student who is also dyslexic - the
EP commented that the student appeared to be Asperger's but that she
wasn't able to diagnose - seems you need a paediatrician?
The DSA assessor ignored the reference on the grounds there was "no
diagnosis"
So beware!

Subject: Asperger Syndrome: post-16 statements[Scanned]
Hi all. A rare query from me...
Is it within LEA guidelines that people who experience a pervasive
developmental disorder such as Asperger syndrome need a post-16
statement/EP report to be considered for DSA eligibilty as is the case
with
Specific learning difficulties? I have a copy of a statement which
identifies quite clear difficulties experienced by a person who at the
time
was 15 years and 9 months (now just over 2 years old). This is regarded
as
insufficient evidence by the LEA. I want to set up this person's support
ASAP for Sept and the delay on the funding side won't help.
Rob
