Transferring to Mainstream

Twinboys

Hi All,

I have 4yr old twin boys both diagnosed ASD. They are currently in an observational class at a mainstream school. I don't feel that they are getting all the help they need and I am considering a special needs school.

 

Does anyone know the percentage of children that transfer into mainstream at age 7 after being in the observational class? And if I move them to a special needs school, if they progress enough would they then be able to transfer into mainstream?

 

Thanks Undecided

  • hi - I can't answer the 1st part of your question.  Other posters will help.  There'll be info via the site's homepage I would think.  On the 2nd part, I cannot imagine an Education Authority anywhere in the country not being delighted at the mere thought of saving money by allowing 1 or both boys to switch from a special school to mainstream.  Obviously it is important they remain in the educational setting most suited to their needs.
