My son is eight with undiagnosed asd with strong sensory integration difficulties and hyper-arousal.we have seen a paediatric consultant and are now on a waiting list for
formal diagnosis by the asd team (for a year so far!). The small primary he attends has been fantastic, he has a full time teaching assistant, all staff have been on specialist courses. However, despite all the work the school has done, ds has become increasingly violent with not a day passing with teachers, staff, children being hurt. The school our under huge pressure from the council not to exclude permantly - however they are in crises management each day to keep everyone safe and provide some kind of education. We and the head are currently all trying to get advise of our next move, however we live in a rural area with little options - the head said she is not prepared for us to end up on the merry go round of being shunted from school to school but equally feels that they cannot meet ds needs. Help - anyone out there who has experienced this?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
