The Transition into College.

We go through primary with our child and get told he is fine,no diagnosis. Secondary schools starts to struggle and at 13 year gets a diagnosis.so you fight for the EHCP. We get nothing  pretty much told not expect  much in the way of GCSE results.

Well he passed them all and it wad a very emotional day I can tell you.

So off to college to do the enrolment, we talk to the SEN team who are fantastic, then off to meet the tutor.

After the tutor read his notes she knows he's has autism and proceeds to question him on is this what he really wants to do and how he will cope standing  for 12hours everyday and negative question after negative question. And how HIS autism is going to affect HER.

The meeting with the tutor was stopped there and then.

All it takes is one weak link in the chain to undo so many hopes and dream. Some teachers/tutors need retraining  and some need a refresher course.

This blip will not stop us from moving forward. However we are waiting to see how they deal with this situation. The day our children get out of the education system can't come soon enough.
