School and anxiety

Hi,

My child is on the umbrella pathway and is finding school really difficult. Her attendance has dropped to just above 60%. I’ve met with the Ed psychologist and they are due to meet her soon. Has anyone got any advice about how to help her with anxiety? Any techniques others with ASD have found helpful. Fully appreciate that everyone is different but it’s utterly heartbreaking seeing your teen so worried. She currently doesn’t have an EHCP but this is my next battle. Thank you

Is there anything she is good at that she does outside of school. Perhaps becoming better at that, and concentrating on that will give her some confidence ... or at least give her something else to think about?

Thank you for your reply. Yes she dances outside of school but it sometimes so exhausted she doesn’t want to go.

She is very academic and has an excellent memory for facts but finds school overwhelming and doesn’t like all her teachers. Some are better at adapting things for her than others.
