Reasonable adjustments in college

NAS65567

Hi

My daughter is attending college on a reduced timetable because of her ASD,social anxiety, depression and sensory difficulties especially Echolalia. 

We have been asking for a quiet space/room for her to go to if she is struggling to regulate her emotions but they don't seem to have a particular room she can go to they are very vague and have give her a number of rooms she could possibly use if they are free ,which is very confusing and raising her anxieties.

This is outlined in her EHCP but I don't think they quite understand why it is so important. 

My daughter self harms if things get too much by banging her head on the table which they have already witnessed .I am worried that she will reach crisis if early intervention isn't successful. 

Does anyone know how I can ensure she gets what she needs as I feel like they are not providing what she needs.

  • Hi, Do they not at least have a library? That should be a relatively quiet space and they could even set aside a place in there for her to use? I used to hide a lot in the library when I was at school - there used to be a chair at the very end between the book shelves and that was a great place to retreat. However, like other people have pointed out, they really should be able to schedule/ free a designated quiet space for her. Good luck!
