Refusing to go into school

WilliamsMummy

Hi all, 

My son (4) is refusing to go into pre-school at the moment. He keeps telling me he his sad there but wont tell the teacher this. Ive tried to discuss this with his teachers but they tell me they see nothing. They think he is happy and everything is okay.

BUT

If it was okay then it wouldnt have taken me an hour and a half to get him dressed, ending with him being late. 

He has no IEP. NOTHING!

The school isnt being very helpful. 

The SENCO has been to observe him but again saw no issues. 

My son will NOT tell people when he is sad. 

Anyone been through something similar?

Should I get the SENCO involved?

Thanks in advance 

Vicky

  • Hi, am presuming he's diagnosed as autistic?  There's loads of info on the site + also the ipsea site so have a look.  Also lots of posts which are informative + have links.  Is his pre-school attached to his soon to be mainstream school?  I'd get everyone you can think of involved in this because he won't manage without getting what he needs to help him.  Have you applied for a statement of educational needs?  The school doesn't sound like they can be bothered and/or have a clue.  Quite common, sadly.  Many parents have to fight/persevere to get their child what they need.  Good luck with everything.  I'm sure others will be along to offer advice soon.  You will get there.
