accommodations in school

Hi, I am in sixth form and have autism. My mum is about to have a review of my senco plan. I am needing more support for my autism  and I don’t know what support is actually available for me but I am really struggling without it.

More specifically general support. As i already have exam support.

i do not have an ehcp but have an equivalent plan by my school which is followed well

Me and My Mum don’t know what help is available so any advice from parents of autistic teens or autistic teens about what my mum can ask for would be appreciated

  • Hi,

    Schools should be able to offer:

    A quiet place for you to study during free periods

    A "leave lesson early" pass so you can avoid the crowded halls and stairs during lesson transition

    A "breather" pass so you can leave a classroom and go to a safe place for a short time if you are feeling overwhelmed

    Do you have social issues? They may be able to help by providing a safe place for you to go during break time/lunch time where you could socialise with a small group of other students or just have a quiet place to go.

    Best thing would be to talk to the SENDCO or Head of sixth form to see what they can offer to support you in your day to day life at school.

    Hope they can help.
