Hi!
My 9 yr son has just changed school. New school (mainstream) has sufficient experience with helping autistic children and strong inclusion team.
Before changing to this school, I discussed FULLY about his difficulties including toileting issues, I offered to come to school and hlep his poo, as he can't use toilet for his poo, when he needs, and then, they accepted to have him with them.
A week goes on,(he has got no problem so far) today I was told by the teacher that they would not accept special arrangement for his toileting isseus becuase it is mainstrem not special school, whihc means that I may not be allowed to come and help him when he needs poo and which menas that he can't do poo in school.
I really really wish that they should have told me this before he started school so that I would not have sent him to this school..... They had a planty of time (3months) to consider and observed him whether they accepted him or not before offering a place.
Changing school ws truly big challenge for him and he had servere anxiety, all these 3 months emotional preparation to change school..... I don't think it would be realistic if he has to change school again.
What shall I do? change another school again? or negotiate with school (peacefully)?
Is there anyone who is good at negotiating with school? If so, could you kindly tell me how to talk this matter wtih school?
Thank you for reading my message.
