Hi,
haven't been on to post for a long time, but my son has HFA diagnosis, he is Y1 at the mo. His main issues are social, all aspects of this. He is a very emotional boy. He is quite bright but finds it hard to keep upo with class as gets very distracted and then gets paniky.
Anyways, throughout reception his mainstream school did a great job he came on loads as in the begg he couldn't cope with school at all. Y1 however hasen't been that great, in class he is a teachers pleaser, and gets on ok. But socially they dont help him nearly enough, he has one friend that he will only play with if he is playing IT, and most of the other children he will cover his ears and hide from in playground before n after school.
if he doesnt play IT with his friend then he will just walk around on his own watching people or sometimes says i wanted to play but didnt know how or what to say.
So i have had countless chats with teacher and senco he is school action + (not ststemented)
they feel he is coping fine, he has zero support on the playground, and seems the little they do do is very inconsistant. i have recently viewed another school spoken to head teacher and senco there, they have said that they would give my son 1to1 on they playground without a statement then access his needs.
They seemed to understand his needs and have a better idea of how to support him,
but the question is, is this enough of a reason to move him... ????
my son is very emotional and obvs isnt great with change..
His views are 'i love my sool sooo much and i would miss him loads'. he really isnt keen on moving him.
i dont want to make the wrong decision??
ive also viewed a special schhol but seems there is no @ideal@ school for HFA children, seems special school isnt quite right but have much more knowledge and mainstream isnt right either.
Thanks, any advice welcome x
