A seven-year-old boy has never spent a whole day at school, cannot read or write and can only count as far as 20.
Louie Lee has been waiting years for a diagnosis of his special educational needs and behavioural issues. His mum Michelle Cassemis said she has desperately been trying to get help since he started nursery but her son has been “let down by the system”.
He was only given a statement of special educational needs last year when he was six, years after it was apparent to his teachers and his mother that something was wrong. Michelle, a single mum-of-three, has had to quit her job as a hairdresser to be at home with her son.
