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

  • that is APPALLING!!!! If your son has a diagnosis then surely the educational psychologist was involved? also what is your SENCO provision like at the school?? It sounds like your son's teachers are not taking into consideration his condition and giving him the support and teaching that is needed for such a chil.d It is the schools responsibility to give him the support that he obviously needs. Talk to your educational authority for a start, Also is there a parent support group attached to your LA? I was told about one last week by the ep deadlin with my son's diagnosis and they can work with you to ensure your school is giving your child the help that they legally must provide. don;t let them do it without a fight . Is it that your sons teacher is not training in dealing with children on the AS? xxx
