huge school problems, any advice would be lovely

imustbemad

My son is 9 with high functioning autism, for the last 6-8 weeks of school he has only attended morningings due to a failed reintegration plan, he was excluded befor october halfterm for 6 days then on advice from a professional his next exclusion doubled to 12 days which ended a few weeks befor the xmas break. both times this inegration plan has been used with very minor adjustments. so far this week he has had 4 brillient mornings but i am lothed to be hopefully that he will included breaktime play for the next week, which should happen.

I dont know how to make awarness of this to be brought to somesort of meeting to determine weather this is discrinatry or not. the exclusions are due to behaviours linked with his ASD. i would greatly aprechiate any advice or previouse experiance from anyone.

thankyou for reading

  • thankyou both for your advice, i am hopefully that i will have enought ime between drop off and pick up next week to try and get thru to Ipsea, this is now the 2nd setting we have been in and both have helped for one school year and then appear to give up all together. Its very hard to find the time to make the phone calls needed with the small amount of time i have where he is in the setting each day. by the end of today he will have had 4 hrs of education this week. 

  • hi - the advice you've been given above is gd.  Look into it.  My experience (my son's in his 20s now) is that you need to decide what environment (educational or otherwise) is best for him.  I spent a number of yrs trying to improve things for him in an environment that wasn't clued up on autism.  It didn't work, despite all my efforts.  If you think the school can make the adjustments necessary so he can remain there, then all well + gd, if you are doubtful then you need to explore other options.  There are posts on these pages about situations v similar to yours, so do a search + see what you think.  bw - hope things improve for the better soon.
