Special school exclusions

NAS49964
over 5 years ago

My very high functioning 12-year-old has now been excluded twice from his special school in the last 2 months.

His behaviours are difficult but not insurmountable, the special school seems to be making these behaviours worse rather than better.

Anyone else experienced this, he seems to be finding the interaction with a large number of other autistic children very difficult and staff appear quick to physically intervene, he views this as assault and climbs to height to find a safe place........

    I'm not much help.  But I agree with your son and I consider unnecessary physical intervention as a form of assault.

    And as long as this safe place is 'safe' , they should leave him in peace for a reasonable length of time.  And not try to get him down.

    I remember my time in a special school in the 1970s.  Where all of us had some kind of behaviour problems.  One girl's safe place was sitting quietly under a table tennis table.  She came out eventually.
