I have confirmed with staff in my National Educational Psychological Service that there is no request on hand from school authorities in relation to the assessment of the child named in the question. May I suggest that the matter be raised by his parents, in the first instance, with the Principal of the school in question. The NEPS psychologist assigned to the school will discuss the child's situation with the Principal in early September. The matter of the provision of speech and language therapy is a matter for the relevant local HSE service.
