My sons statement units have increased, but I'm having problems with the teacher.

MaxineWhite

Hello,

  My sons units have increased to 5 hours per day and a teacher who specialises in Autism has been employed (FANTASTIC NEWS).

But I'm experiencing the following:

1. Class Teacher (not the specialist) is refusing to log my sons progress in a book becuase they are too busy??

2. Specialist only sees my son in the afternoon? In the morning he works with the teacher assistant with a group of children?

3. Class teacher is very abrupt when I mention anything to do with my sons tasks, rewards (stickers for being good) and just fails to understand how my son resonds to change and routine.

I'm planning on seeing the Head of the school as I feel the funding allocated to my son is being used for other children and to discuss the attitude of staff towards my requests?

If I get no where with the Head who do I contact? Even the SENCO is starting to join in with the attitude? I used to think she was on my side, but it seems they have ganged up and made there minds up that I'm trouble?

I'm not paranoid, I just want my son to receive the best possible education at a mainstream school and since the extra units and funding, they seem to have an attitude towards me? 

Has anyone else experienced this behaviour?

I'm really low today.

Regards,

Maxine

  • I don't know that much about the subject but I feel the same and that you are lucky you know so much about your situation.

    I thought it was normal that 'he works with the teacher assistant with a group of children' I would ask them again if this is how it works.

    I also feel like trouble, never mind being shunned in the playground and birthday invites seem to skip G  ect ect. Even worse people are jealous my son is getting an Learing Support Assistant.

    I hate to break it to you but things always seem that much better when you are told you are going to get help and then find out it's not as good as it could be. This is what happened to us.

    My husband reminds me that I am supposed to work with these people that is why I don't know as much as I should do about my child because I don't want to annoy them in any way.

    Yours experienced this behaviour,

    PS. Hope you are feeling better soon.
