Trouble at school

MummyEmma

Hi all, just wondered of someone could give me any advice if they are going through a similar situation. Today at school my daughter who is 7 and has a diagnosis of Asd stabbed a boy in the face with a pencil then went onto wrecking the classroom at break she blew her top because she had to come inside and resorted to taking of her skirt in front of everybody and refused to put it back on, she swore at her teacher and kicked her 1:1 assistant. The whole day was a disaster. i assumed that due to the fact the school begged for help for a 1:1 of the LEA for my daughter who was granted for the full time of school that these incidents would stop. I feel like she may not be supporting her in a preventative way which I was hoping was the purpose for her bring there. I don't know what to do, I'm dreading the school run in the morning when I have to face the child's mother. What can I do???? are there any behaviour therapies I could try? I've heard of cbt but I don't know much else about it. Or should I just stick with the school dealing with her behaviour? Xx

  • How horrible for you, and your daughter too. Despite the one to one they are obviously not doing enugh to help your daughter.  I suspect from my own expeience of this from the school persective (i am an infant school teacher) that although they have t/a support that the support person however fantastic and dedicated has probably got no asd experience or understanding /trainng and has been thrown in at the deep end without any proper input.

    My advice to you is to request a meeting with the teacher and the one to one carer. Discuss routines, suggest to them what might work for your daughter in terms of coping strategies, tell them what upsets her and what she is sensitive about. See if you can email, ring or text to communicate with your daughters main helper so you can let them know about anything thats going on at home which might affect her day at school.

    In my school our autistic children arrive early with their parents and settle quietly with their t/a's before the other chidren come in.  The parents speak briefly with the ta to discuss any worries before school. Perhaps this might help you?

    Good luck. My own autisic child is now a teenager and finally in a special asd school for which I am so grateful.  I think that after year 2 it becomes much harder in mainstream for our secial kids and that they need a totally different kind of environment in which to study.

    Good luck - it is hard for you and for school too. The more you can be involved with your daughters care and routines there the better for all concerned.
