Mainstream or special?

Hi

There has been quite a lot of discussion about it but I could not find anything recent.

Do you know any agency who could advice on the matter?

My 5,5 year old son with ASD is in y1 in a mainstream school. He is verbal, bright and presents very normal well but has serious meltdowns when feels frustrated or threatened. He is almost fully statemented for full-time TA support, which he is getting at the moment. The problem is, the head has made it clear to us that if we choose to stay in the school he would face permanent exclusion for his behaviour. Lately, they've started escluding him regurlaly for a few day, just to make it even clearer.

Help, please, anybody...

  • Goodybear,

    Thank you for your reply. I have emailed the Exclusion Service. Also, I have been trying to ring Surrey Exclusion Manager, ipsea and sos!sen but couldn't get through. Left a message where I could.

    We have been to see another mainstream school with ASD unit. Their kids there presented with such severe learning disabilities, besides, they are full up. Another similar school in an hour drive away, and we think it's cruel for a young child to spend so much time getting to school and back. All special schools in the area are for really severe cases, non-verbal or self-harming children.

    It's so good to hear that there are schools where ASD kids can get a good provision. We live in Ashford. Have you heard of any good inclusive primary mainstream schools in the area?

    Many thanks
