Hi.
Its our first time post, and we would like alittle advice if possible regarding school matters.
Jack has recently been diagnosed with ASD, mainly with social interaction and theory of mind, wich is hard at times as some will know x
the question we are asking is: Jack recently sat his SATS Exams and as a "treat" school has arranged a trip for all the year to a theme park. Jack has been excluded form this trip as he poses a Health & Safty Risk to the pupils and staff. The desicion has been made on the whole years behaviour. During Jacks diognisis ( wich was made around 2 months ago ) the doctor told us that his behavial problems are down to his Autism, and thats how he deals with social interaction, with adults and children alike. ( he has deficits in social interaction, social cominication, theory of mind ect ) they say that if someone was to look at him funny then he may start fighting with the other pupil, and that would take a way 2-3 staff from the group.
we did offer for one of us to accompany him on this trip, but they refused as it would "single him out" as other parents wouldnt be going on the trip.
Maybe its just our thinking, but its like the school is branding him a "naughty kid"
Thanks
