Feeling overwhelmed. My DS has just started reception. He is undergoing assessments for possible dyspraxia and or high functioning autism and hypertonia. The OT and Physio have just told us he has hypermobile joints. This was enough to take in but now his class teacher is telling me daily that he has disrupted her carpet session by talking to himself or not sitting upright. She has told the other children that he cannot follow the rules like them. Two other mothers have approached me in the playground to say that the Teaching Assistant in the class told them my son couldn't follow the class rules and gets up from the carpet to wander around the room. Also that the class teacher had told their children my DS had weak bones.
I just went home and cried. His pre school said he was a sweet kind and loving boy and was able to join in well by the end of the year. I'm a Senco myself and am appalled at their lack of confidentiality and attitude towards including him. I feel that I'm in that awful situation where if I complain at this stage things will get worse for him.
