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

  • If mainstream is not suitable for both of your boys, don't see why they can't move to special school ( need to be statemented though).

    If at a later date you think they can manage in mainstream and its accepted and proved to all proffessionals involved and SENAR that its possible they can move back to mainstream. But be aware I tried to move one of mine some years ago from mainstream secondary to special school and even after 5 trips to casualty for concussion, sever bullying, very limited progress  they refused. ( he has dyslexia and mld). It can be quite hard to prove mainstream/ special school is suitable if progress (even a small amount) has been made!!!
