DS has been off school with severe anxiety for 3 weeks now, with the support of our GP. We're waiting for a CAMHS referral and I'm looking for a private therapist in the meantime.
He's due to go back to school on Monday, but after a meltdown earlier I can't see that happening.
I do believe the best thing for him would be flexi schooling, so he can work at home towards his exams, and go into school if he feels able. I would hope that, perhaps in the New Year, once we've had a few therapy sessions and he's a bit stronger, he could return to school ready (and hopefully in a good place) for his exams.
Any tips on persuading the Head? When I broached the idea with the SENDCO, she laughed and said you can't pick and choose. I know legally you can, if the Head agrees....
Thanks
