Threat of permanent exclusion

christine kingsmill

My son is 10 years old, and was diagnosed with Asperger's 2 years ago. Whilst he has always had difficulty with social situations, the past year has been a particularly difficult one with oppositional behaviour with both the teachers and other pupils. He is currently under threat of permanent exclusion and I am told that he cannot receive a statement based on his Asperger's diagnosis.  I have also requested an assessment by an Educational Psychologist but am told there is a long wait for this. 

There is a serious threat that without a positive intervention, he will be asked to leave the school within the next term.

Has anyone had a similar experience, and do they know where I should look for help or advice in order to circumvent this potentially disastrous situation?

Many thanks

Laura

  • If you contact your local authority SEN office you can rquest a statutory assessment yourself.  If you have the financial means, you can get an ed psych report yourself.....it is law that they have to accept those privately obtained as well as through school.  You could ask the school to get some help in from the local short stay school....they usually advise schools or give a short period of education in a small setting to help things stabilise
