Mainstream or Specialist schools.

NAS75657

My Son in year 2 recently moved from a mainstream to a specialist school. I am already seeing a positive difference he is happier, more settled and making more progress now. What type of schools do your children attend and which do you feel is best for them? It was suggested we put him in a specialist school from nursery but we wanted to give him time in mainstream with support first, he was happy and made progress but not once his 1:1, TA left in year 1 and was never replaced. .

  • My son had been diagnosed with autism today after a long drawn out process of trying to sort the support he needs. Our main concern now is to get the EHCP he so definitely needs as he really struggles with anything academic This is my dilemma now as I am worried we won’t get this in time for him to get into secondary school which is next September. I’ve been researching special schools as I think he will struggle in mainstream school as he struggles with understanding. Thank you for your post as it’s reassuring that you’ve had positive experience in special school.
