DS2 has ASD and is due to start school in September, a few days before he turns 5.
He currently attends an SN nursery and although we are trying to sort an EHCP, the process has been hellishly slow, mostly due to lack of communication and the proper paperwork on nursery's part.
We would like DS to go to the local special school. DS1 also has ASD and had a horrible time at mainstream. He was essentially expelled at the beginning of Year 1, and this special school has been a real turning point for us. But of course getting DS2 into this school is going to be tough as it's oversubscribed and the LA never want to pay for special school places round here anyway. Bracing myself for another nervous breakdown!
A couple of kids at the nursery have been able to do their reception year at the nursery, and I kind of assumed we would do the same, mostly to give us more time to sort the EHCP and then do all the appeals we need to do.
But I've come to realise that those other kids have summer birthdays, one in May and one in August. Does anyone know if DS having a September birthday will preclude him from this option?
Thanks :)
