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

  • 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.
