Dd year 11 has had awful time last few years, basically everything fell apart looking certain to get a asd diagnosis when she finally gets to top of waiting list but all this is meant she basically missed over 80% for year 10 and 11 of school (so gcse years) and got a very late diagnosis of learning disability (working memory, auditory processing, dyslexia etc etc and has also suffered awful anxiety to the point that she has totally isolated herself from all other pupils/friends
Dd will not pass a gcse she will be lucky to get a 1 in maths and my gut get a 2/3 at a push for English though she will come out with two merits in Btec's she done.
Now the issue is what happens next year, I'm banging my head against a wall here, 6th form won't keep her without the grades, no way will she be able to walk into a collage in September due to anxiety
The school are meant to be helping with transition but so far have done nothing and with appIe 20ish school days left can't see what they are going to do.
I'm just so frustrated, the grades in the btec prove she had the potential and with the right support she can achieve but there doesn't seem to be anything out there for children like her, we went along to a local collage who spoke to her and showed us around a unit for children with very severe needs (I.e non verbal, very obvious physical disability etc) and Dd was so upset like she said she just a normal teenage girl and wants to be with people she can make friends with.
What am I missing? What options are out there? Ideally something that she can do over only a few days a week as we don't think she would cope with full time
