My 14 year old son has adhd and more recently being diagnosed with aspergers. My son is struggling at school. He cannot concentrate, does not take in information. His reading is very bad, writing is a scrawl. he sits in class and struggles to get started with work and most of the time does not understand what the teacher is on about and switches off. He never does homework. He is late most days and misses a lot of his classes. I have asked if he could get extra help but I was told that there was not any available. There has in the past been a general teaching assistant in some of the classes but that is to assist all the pupils, a class of 30 or more. I was told today that maybe a smaller school would be better. I do not want my son to change schools as this one is local and he does not like to travel. I was told that if he was in a smaller class group then he would get More one to one help.
If that is the case then what do I have to do to get this. Anyone with similar problems your help would be most appreciated. My doctors surgery say that he should be getting extra help so why am I struggling to get this.
