school not listening!!!!

tiredeyes

Spoke to my 2 lil uns ep today, she phoned to discuss a possible school for Bounce (youngest one!), for some reson she seems more eager to get bounce into a different mainstream school with a asd unit (from the ones I have seen so far I am not impressed!!).

After discussing a fair bit in detail she pointed out that some recommendations have not been taken upon by the school even though they will help Bounce tremendously in mainstream school. After havinga ABC assesment done while he was in nursery some of his triggers were identified. School discussed them with me and we agreed that these should be prevented to avoid any incidents, these didnt happen at all!!!! School actually aggravated them badly and this resulted in Bounce being excluded twice in a matter of weeks. He was put on a re-integration programme which made matters worse and didnt go back to full time till last week of term!!

He is now in reception and to find out that important advice is not being implemented is shocking. They are refusing to have him full time or even till after dinner, he only gets 2hrs and 45 mins in total.  They mentioned 2 weeks before half term that they are going to employ a permanent 1:1 for Bounce so he can go full time but on last day of half term was told he will still be part-time for  weeks into new term and will be reviewed again.

I know now that they are just waiting or his statement to come so he will be moving to a new school and they wont have to deal with him. Knowing that I had a neighbour who's autistic and went to that school and has severe autism and stayed full time and had no issues and that Bounce is not has bad has him makes me severely question what the school is playing at!!!

I am finding it very hard with all the running up and down the school 3 times a day (its a mile and a half away!) and dealing with my other kids whon have s/n and supporting them.

I just dont know which way to turn, with the demands of all my 7 kids and their additional needs (5 with s/n) and getting my youngest 2 statemented and dealing with everyone is just so draining I barely have 5 minutes to sit down and have a drink in peace without having to run around dealing with everyone. I dont have any support at present just need some advice on how to deal with one very frustraing ignorant school!!!!

  • Hi crystal 12, Even though I have had a chance to look for alternative eduaction for bounce and bumblebee, I was told today that we are looking at a possible 4+ month delay on thier statements :(.

    They are not able to cope for much longer and its only a matter of time before somethink pops up. Have warned school that if they keep aggravating him dont expect a sorry from me just a 'told ya so'. Parent partneship have been trying to get hold of school and from our meeting today he is very eager to speak to them. He is also looking into alternative education placements for all 3 of my kids there has things have got really bad there betwen us.

    My elder 2 have MLD, one of them has epilepsy and the other has (from my opinion) autistic traits , 3rd one is dyslexic and also has self esteem and confidence issues (and can be a ryte pain!!), Bumblebee (7yrold) he has global development delay, MLD, social and communication difficulties. I have been referred to sw before but get the same response 'they dont fit the criteria'. It does amaze me what does. Has they get older their difficulties become more visible and difficult to deal with.

    My elder 2 had a assesment for a sw a while ago and all they done was refer to differnet services and said bye bye. No one seems to give a dam these days even their support workers are working less with them now. Eldest only goes to college twice a week and spends the rst of the week in the house.

    I have tried to rest but with my kids and all the running around its just impossible, even the chance to go to my doctor is impossible (and its just at the bottom of the road!!!). Will one day (not sure when ) get a chance to look after my self .

    thanks :)
