My adopted ds is in year 3, has ADHD with ASD traits, and a number of other issues. Although he is medicated, he still has attachment and processing issues and finds peer to peer relationships very difficult.
I have just had a parents evening at school and found out that the teacher has moved him around the class 5 times in the last month, because she said he annoys the other children. She asked me to speak to him about social boundaries as she doesn't want to set up a desk and sit him on his own.
I am pretty sure schools should have a basic understanding of children with ADHD, ASD and adoption, and the difficulties these children face both in classroom environments and their peer to peer relationships. No wonder he is having trouble at school, transitions and change are really tough for him and she is singling him out, embarrassing him and moving him around with no stability.
Does anyone else know what I can do about this, or have any idea how I can challenge this teacher and come up with a better way for her to help my DS?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
