i need help guys. I don’t think school will back up what I’ve said due to masking. I spoke with teacher yesterday and she said she cannot see a problem with behaviour. It’s so frustrating as his behaviour at home is so bad

I got the same problem xx

Shellbel10 · 10/11/2022 07:32

Thank you @MissEllie2 really appreciate that. Made me feel better

MissEllie2 · 10/11/2022 07:31

Honestly don’t worry about school, if he is under the senco and has an iep in place that is more than most children. As long as they are supporting you and your child that’s all that matters. It is extremely common for children to mask within school as it’s not their safe area and when they get home they explode. Any senco teacher should be well aware of this but be supporting you and your child regardless x

Gemma96x · 10/11/2022 07:26

Good luck for today zx

Shellbel10 · 10/11/2022 07:25

He is under senco and we’re awaiting referral for occupational therapist. It’s just his new teacher doesn’t seem to see it all. He also has an iep in place

MissEllie2 · 10/11/2022 07:23

Masking is extremely common within ASD children. Are the school aware that at home you have lots of issues? Does your child require any extra support in school at all? I actually work within a school and there are many children who mask and when they get home they are completely different children. The school is aware of this and support the parents as they can. I believe as long as the school are aware that he/she is masking they should be supportive regardless x

Just for context on timeline for people my scan date was 2nd August it went to decision maker on 4th November awarded on 7th November. I did get a text saying awarded and called up to find out rates. Hrc lrm. I still haven’t received a letter. My back payment arrived today backdated to scan date. I did print the forms myself so had no call date. I sent in lots of evidence from gps school specialists and got school send to write on the form too. So 1 day shy of 14 week wait , text confirmation of award and three working days after for payment.

@Colettet my scan date is the 11/08 !! I rang Monday and was told I would be one of the next decisions they make so I'm assuming that means with the decision maker ? But then reading everything here I'm not sure they know what they are doing ConfusedGrin

Autismmum123 · 10/11/2022 05:38

Scan date 5th Aug, not had no text, payment pending in account, not sure on rates will wait for letter as don't have time to wait on hold with them, good luck to you all x

RunPamRun · 09/11/2022 23:09
