Hi there,
My 7 year old daughter (diagnosed ASD and likely also ADHD) started primary school last September and Ive not felt very happy with the support in place. They don't seem to get my daughter and this has resulted in several days or so of refusing school. She really struggles with the social nuances at lunch and break times and would feel much happier if she could stay in and draw or do some crafts or something. I've mentioned this and they say they can only do this if a teacher is present and so not very often, maybe once every few weeks. I just wondered if this could be a reasonable adjustment to request as I'm sure it will help with the school refusal. Any thoughts on this would be super helpful. Thanks
