DD is in y4 in mainstream, she has ASD.
She has a safe space in the library, she goes there during break and lunch to read.
The library is in a big open area with the reception at one end and corridors going off to the classrooms.
She is supposed to make her own way back to class when the bell goes at the end of break, but she's sometimes a couple of minutes late.
She says this is because there are various bells and they mean different things, she's never sure which bell it is. Or she doesn't hear the bell because she's concentrating on her book. She says she's trying really hard to get back on time, but sometimes doesn't.
The teachers have decided they will deal with this by shouting at her when she's late back. This just makes her cry, but doesn't change things because she's already trying her best.
She's anxious and hates school at the best of times, shouting at her isn't helping.
The teaching assistant spoke to me about it saying they need a solution, as "DD wouldn't like to lose her safe space " (the implication being if she keeps being late she will lose her space)
How can I help DD get back to class on time? She's very scatty and disorganised so it needs to be as simple as possible!
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
