we got my ds statment though last week that says mainstream placement school he already attends was on school action plus since starting school were giving ds 20 hours support on SA+ now statment says 25 hours. i produced two independant specialist reports to the lea stating my autistic ds needs to be in a specialist school along with my own strong views emphasising specialist school but to no avail. mainstream school said they had no concerns in meeting his needs but the lea funded autistic school said whilst they could take him they had concerns reguarding his behaviuor. i have had to call out the police three times this month alone as child has tried to stab me with a knife smashed up the house and ran off from schoolx4 times! i am at my witts end on how to get ds into this school or another similar hes hitting puberty and often refusing to even go to sschool the school sent me a letter saying they would refer me to educational welfare! can anyone give me some advice i want to try to go to tribunal but i am worried it will be a waste of time as they may want to try the extra hours first then it will be another year before i can appeal again. this child keeps saying i wish i was dead! he has self harmed before and had two previous suiside attempts .
