Please help!! My child keeps getting excluded!!

JomumtoH

Can anybody offer advice? My child often gets excluded from school. Today i was told if it carrys on it will lead to a permenant exclusion. He keeps backchatting his teachers and sometimes hits others. They tell me he is becoming difficult to teach and doesnt listen. I will be first to admit that he is a challenge to motivate! I've used SENDIASS before and to be honest i had to constantly chase them up. Is there any organisation i can ring for help and advice? Its his last year at primary (mainstream) and i just want him to stay there for now! Homeschooling is out of the question has i simply cannot afford to give up work.

  • Hi JomumtoH,


    I see that you have already accessed some help in the past but here is some further information you might find useful.

     

    The following article contains a lot of helpful information about education for a child with an autism spectrum disorder:
    http://www.autism.org.uk/about/in-education.aspx

     

    This includes information regarding getting extra support for your child in their education setting.

     

    You can search for schools that cater for children with an autism spectrum disorder on our Autism Services Directory: www.autism.org.uk/directory.aspx

     

    It can help to pass on information specifically for education professionals about autism spectrum disorders. The following link contains information written for education professionals:
    http://www.autism.org.uk/professionals/teachers.aspx

     

    You may want to contact our Advocacy for Education Service where information, support and advice is provided on educational provision and entitlements. Please see the following link for further information:
    http://www.autism.org.uk/Our-services/Advice-and-support/Advocacy-for-education-service.aspx

    Hopefully the community will also be able to provide some more personal experience. Please let us know if you have any further questions and the community or a moderator may be able to help.

    Best wishes,

  • Schools are always looking ahead. They may be worried about the possibility you may try to place him in a mainstream secondary school. Which will disrupt other students/teachers. If you were to start the process of finding a SEN secondary school for him, they may be more sympathetic. Having ongoing evidence now of him being disruptive at a mainstream school is valuable proof that he needs a SEN school. Maybe teachers could help support your application to a SEN school for next year. Introducing the idea over the year to your son, with possible visits to it would make a change more acceptable. He may even voluntarily want to change over before.
