School have taken my son off Iep

mumof4boys772

Ok we have our first Taf in December, school bout in a private Ot and are buying in a private Ed pych, my son sees the peadatrician every 4 months, salt and audiologist.

My son is regulary threatening to kill himself and trying too, school know this, my son is getting massibley anxious about school too so is kicking off most morning.

What is going on? surely he should still be on an iep?

  • We have so much capacity to sustain repeated insults.

    By insults I don't mean just words. I'm using it the medical context. Constant negative, harsh, punitive or otherwise damaging events mount up and cause long term distress, imbalance, internal conflict and fear.

    A child ought to be able to go to school without a continual barrage of knocks and hurts. But children on the spectrum get exactly that.

    Little wonder so many children get so muddled and depressed and scared their education suffers. All for want of a little more vigilence from teaching staff in schools.

    OK I know teaching staff are incredibly stretched by all the new assessments being dreamt up and all the paperwork and other pressures that aren't letting them do what they are there for. The system is crumbling.

    But kids on the autistic spectrum do need someone in school environments looking out for them.

    It is not right that any child should feel suicidal.
