I need advice. My 6yr old DS was excluded from school for 10 days because of a prolonged period of uncharacteristic destructive/aggressive behaviour. DS has occasional ketotic hypoglycaemic episodes but the behaviour was not linked to this.
DS had a seizure a couple of weeks after the deterioration in his behaviour, an MRI scan showed nothing off concern and he is now being medicated for the possible onset of epilepsy.
School has instigated a gradual re-integration for DS which means that he has only attended school for an hour or so each day for the last 3 weeks with one to one support.
I have had to take lots of time off work to look after DS or been called away from work to remove him from school. My employer has been supportive so far but has made it clear that I am expected to resume my normal working hours in September when my DS returns to school.
The problem is that school wants to continue re-integrating slowly to prevent DS having a melt down but this could take weeks, if it works, which means that I won't be able to fulfil my work obligations My DH has helped out a lot but is not able to take more time off, I work part-time, term-time only and can't reduce my hours further and we do not have anyone else to look after DS. How do I stand if I have to give up work to look after him while he isn't receiving a full time education.
Incidentally the school asked DS's consultant to provide them with an open ended sick note which allows them to have him in school for part days only throughout his re-integration.
Here you'll find advice from parents and teachers on special needs education.

My job is at risk because my DS is not allowed/able to receive full time education.
