Advice and support please

NAS80767

I would be grateful for any advice please

my daughter has started secondary school and things seem to be going downhill. She is struggling with maintaining friendship with peers and her anxiety is increased. She can’t get on the bus and at times refuses to go to school completely.

her meltdowns have increased as well as her expression of violence towards other (she has never hurt anyone) .

I am trying to support her but am struggling and would appreciate some guidance of how to help her

  • Secondary school has had a significantly negative impact on my daughter also, mostly with feeling lonely, the sensory overload and being exhausted by the end of the day/week.  We are currently working to an agreed reduced timetable (pending getting further help) and this has helped her anxiety a bit (although makes working nearly impossible).

    Does your daughter have an EHCP? If so, does the plan need reviewing?

    If no EHCP - does she have a SEN support plan at school?  Does she have any provision in place to make her day easier (e.g. an exit card to leave class when overwhelmed to go to a quiet place)?

    Have you met with the school SENCO/SENCO Assistant to discuss your concerns?

    Are you having TAF meetings with the school where your concerns can be raised?

    Just a few ideas.
