Concessions - school attendance

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.
