Hi,
I have a 12 year old autistic daughter in the Durham area, who currently attends one of the local special schools. We have a meeting with them soon with a view to removing her from the school, as it is not the right environment for her. They really have bent over backwards to accommodate her, and i can't praise them enough, but the truth is that the school is too big and noisy for her, and she just cannot cope in that kind of environment (even though it's a large school with only 200 pupils)
I can't afford to home school her, i wish i could. I just don't know what is going to happen to her if she can't even cope in a special school. There is nothing else out there, and there aren't any smaller schools available.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? What did you do? I refuse to give up on my little girl.
Thankyou
Caroline
