Use of specific areas in school

Hi,

I'm wanting some rather urgent advice. I'm a 1:1 in a small primary school for a high functioning ASD child. As any ASD child he can not cope with any change of routine and in particular change of environment. We have a 'little room' next to our classroom which I can bring him into when he needs to get out of the classroom and calm down. We also do daily trainsition work (first thing in the morning), social work, feelings work etc. in here. This room was set aside for him when he joined the school last year and has over this time been adapted in various ways to aid his needs and how stressed he gets.

We share this room with a hearing impared child. This child is needing the room more often due to a recent change in circumstances and the fact that the room was kitted out with special curtains many years ago for a previous pupil. We have only recently been told this and are being required to be out of the room at set times of the day.

For my lad, this is already causing problems. He is beginning to refuse to go in the room when stressed and needing to be in a certain part of the room to calm down, when the hearing impaired lad is in there. The only other place we can use is half way across the school, through 3 different doors. I am the only Team Teach trained person in the school but I am not meant to use it as I was trained in a different school. I am not prepared to 'man handle' (for want of better words) my lad half way across the school, screaming and kicking in a stress fit because I can't access the room which is directly next us. The school are not paying out for other teachers to be team teached due to the budgeting issues at present.

Can I have some advice on what other schools have/are doing in this sort of situation, and any other suggestions people have that could help us here.

Thanks
