My daughter has ASD and is in mainstream schooling.We feel that she is not fittting in because of lack of support.We have level 2 funding which I'm told is the highest funding available, but I do not think that the school are providing for her as much as what they should be, due to staff shortages and sickness etc. we wondered whether applying for a statement of special needs would increase the funding and therefore the support, but it seems that this is not so. Should we go ahead with requesting a statement anyway because we feel that she may have to transfer to a austism specific unit if she continues to be so distressed in mainstream. Does anyone have any information on the legal side of schooling? for instance how many hours a child has to be in school for? my dd is 5 at the end of February.
Any help please would be much appreciated.
Anyone know any good websites to tell me about home schooling?
