Help! 13 yr old daughter won't go In to school

Hi im at the end of my tether and feel like i have no idea about what to do next. My daughter was diagnosed with ASD when she was 10 and it is high functioning so no statement in place as she was coping well at primary school.

It has all hit the fan when she went to senior school and she has become more withfraw and anxious and an angry young lady. She wont go into school anymore as it is overwhelming her and she sticks oit like a sore thumb as she is attending base and not many of her classes. The noose and relationships and constant moving around is too much for her.

Ive spoken to head of SEN and requested that she be assessed by an educational psychologist as i know i need something legal if we want to move schools with special provisions.... however here is my worrying problem.....

Head og SEN says the schhol EP can only assess 3 chikdren at a time so it will be february before she gets to her. Even if she gets a statement they have a 3 year waiting list for a special provision school and have someone who was assessed in year 8 and still waiting in yr 11 for the move so she has told me in not so many words it wont happen! 

I have nowhere else to turn..... she is refusing to go in at all.... surely there is something else i can do?

Any advice would be apreciated.....

  • I have this with my son at the moment, hes 8 and doesnt want to go into school, basically because of assembly and pe, weve been late a few times this week but ive managed to get him in, i have tried you will get a treat if you go, i even tried a visual with a jar and put a pound in it so he could see it that diddnt work, so what i have been doing is ok if you dont get ready and go into school you will have no xbox this evening and so far we have managed to get him in.

    Tommorow he has been told there is no assembly so i will wait and see if he kicks off, if he does kick off then its school as a whole and not just assembly and pe.
