mainstream v special

george

My son matthew is 6 years old and is in mainstream school. he has a Statement and gets lots of support from a very nice teaching assistant who is with him most of the time. He seems reasonably happy, however he does not really play with his peers and is falling further and further behind his classmates academically. I recently visited a Special Needs school and was very impressed. I am now beginning to reconsider my earlier decision to keep him in a mainstream school. Although he gets lots of support is he been taught in the correct way, self esteem etc etc does anyone have any views?

  • I would like to know more about how you got the ABA programme delivered in the school. We're thinking of moving to Cambridgeshire (from the U.S. where our daughter would be in a mainstream school but have a separate special classroom of 8 children) and I know they're just now closing one (the last?) of the autism units at Fawcett primary in Cambridge. What is the tribunal and what does the process involve? How long does it take, etc.
