Ds is 8. Has a dx of ASD & ADHD. He has been in an independent special school funded by LEA for 15 months.
Ds is bright with no learning difficulties but extremely anxious. He's socially & emotionally about 3.5 years. Very complex, sensory impaired etc. Ds is meditated.
The biggest issue with Ds is his behavior. He is very physically aggressive. He's being restrained almost daily. He has an updated behaviour plan& a restraint policy that was tailored to manage him safely. He isn't physical at home but he's been verbally aggressive at home lately.
Im really worried. There are members of staff now refusing to work with Ds. Im worried the school will ask me to move him. There's no where else for him to go. Home education is not an option. I know he's been not happy. The school have had limited success with him.
Its his Annual Review in a few weeks. What hope do i have if i request 1-1 within a special school? He's currently in 2-1 in a class of 5. Should i speak to the school? Previously i found they were reluctant to admit they couldn't manage Ds.
What's the best way forward?
All & any advice appreciated.
TIA.
