Struggling since primary school

Aarav, 9, has struggled with reading, number work, and following multi-step instructions since starting school four years ago. His teacher and mother, independently, both describe him needing more support than classmates with dressing, managing small amounts of money, and organising his own belongings. A recent assessment places his general intellectual functioning in the approximate mild range. There is no history of previously typical school performance followed by a decline — this pattern has been present, in essence, since he started school.
