DS is in Y1 and is AS.
After a few incidents this week that highlighted how the LSAs were not getting enough training support, and that DS's social skills had not progressed as much as we had hoped, DH and I had a meeting with the school to explain that inclusion was not working for him.
I was extremely anxious about it, because his teachers/LSAs are enthusiastic and caring, but the "normal" 1:1 arrangements aren't working.
But the head teacher/SENCO/class teacher were all really receptive and we ended up brainstorming about ideal situations for him, and by extension the other children with ASD in the school.
Some of the ideas we discussed were part time HE (eg 1 day a week), making one classroom ASD friendly for shared use in the school, reducing DS's normal classroom time down to one lesson a day.
In addition DH and I and another parent will be running a sort of ASD workshop next week (!!) and we are planning on starting a parents group to liase with the school/SENCO - a sort of SN PTA.
So come and tell me your ideal learning environment for your child with ASD!
