Hello everyone,
When we decided to move my son from a mainstream to special( from Sep 2016- year 2) as he was really struggling to cope I wasnt sure if I was making a right decision .
However, having read discussions in this thread I was contended for making a right decision. Though my son has been diagnoised as ASD, I think he is high functioning as he is academically bright, verbal but struggles with social interaction skills, anxiety issues in a crowd.
Our worry now is, Special school might teach him social skills but will his academics be neglected or will they take a back seat?
Can please anyone share their / their children/ anyone they know success stories (however small it might be) who have managed to get qualifications (GCSE's/ vocational/ any other ..) have a job and leading an independent life after educating from special.
Any help or comments would be highly appreciated.
Cheers
C.
