Concessions - school attendance

Hotel california

Hi 

Does anyone know if there are concessions regarding school attendance for children with ASC?

I know that each child is expected to attend a certain percentage in each academic year and when this percentage drops, alarm bells go off and the EWO gets involved.

My understanding is that schools are trying to clamp down on truancy, but I don't know any ASC children who are off school so that they can hang around shops or skate parks.

Welcome your feedback on this.

thanks.

  • Thought I'd share something I found quite amusing in a weird way.  The school, ed psych and ewo had all arranged to meet, the meeting was organized by the ewo, if I couldn't attend I was required to give 24 hours notice.

    T h e meeting was to discuss attendance.  

    Anyway, two hours before the meeting was due I received an email, not phone call from school saying the ewo was off sick and meeting is cancelled.  I resisted the urge to say it alright for some!

    The ewo was back at work on Mon.  My cynical side says that she took Friday off because of the unexpected warm weather prediction for the weekend, so wanted to take full advantage of it, or an I just bitter!
