Hi all, my DS has been diagnosed ADHD and Aspergers since he was 11 and is now 14. His school have been aware of his learning needs since he was 8 when it was first picked up.
He really wants to take Computing GCSE at school and the school has offered it to two other boys. They have now told me that my DS can't do it as it will be an extra subject and so take away from his other studies. I am fuming as it is something that DS is really confident in and really good at. Also the exam is right up his street as it's short questions and reviewing code. Would I be right in thinking that if they are offering it to the two other boys, they need to offer it to my DS too? It's a private school but I still think that they are denying my DS an opportunity because of his SN.
Any advice/ opinions would be much appreciated.
