Clutching at straws

NAS95937

Hi , my daughter has been recovering from a burnout and hasn't been in school since December. She is year 9. The school are pushing for a full on return but I know  that isn't  going to work for my daughter , I've made suggestions and asked for home tutoring,  but I keep being  met with another barrier . My daughter has been on a wait list for over 3 yrs to have an official  diagnosis on nhs , due to this we have gone private  and are currently awaiting  the results. My only other thought has been if I could be her one to one .  If anyone has any idea if that would be possible or any advice ,I would be very grateful. X
