what education problems?

HappyDays

hi all,

        was wandering what you  think are the main problems for children with asc within the education system. One of my local commisioners dosnt seem to think there are any. 

Parents

  • My personal view is that the the educators( teachers etc) are not educated, at least not about asc. Those who do claim to be all knowledgable in fact hold very narrow views. I think this is the root of the vast majority of problems kids with asc encounter in school, a complete lack of understanding about behaviours, communication and understanding difficulties, Physical dificulties,... everything really!

     I dont really think that untill a reasonable understanding is achieved right across the board starting at the top, that any of the continuing problems with education will ever get any better.

    My personal view is that all education authorities should ensure that all staff are knowledgable and  have an understanding of asc, after all its most unlikely that staff are not going to come across asc children. Maybe then the support would be a little easier to get. More Autism specific schools would appear, etc

    What does anybody else think?
