she has severe physical needs - cerebral palsy, visually impaired and cant speak but is very bright. Right now she is in a mainstream with a resource base and easily keeps up with her non disabled classmates. There is nowhere for her to go at secondary. All the SN schools are for children with LD's and offer no chance to do GCSE's/A levels and not one mainstream in the city can cope with her severe physical disabilities (or so they say).
What the fuck do we do? She wants an education the same as any other child. The LEA seem to think its ok for her to go to an SN school and be taught 'life skills' and do no exams but she'd be bored out of her mind and immensely fustrated and why should she settle for that? She's more than capable of going to university later on.
What on earth do I do. She has a right to an education.
