He needs 1:1. He is academically able, but lacks the focus to actually do the work on his own. He can get bits done but after 10 mins he is "looking vacant" and distracted.
He is diagnosed with asd. His concentration levels are not good. He uses ear defenders in class and has sensory breaks which help abit, but when he is left to work alone he just can't do it.
What am I meant to do ??
He is having days off now due to major anxiety in the mornings about going in causing meltdowns.
He is in year 4.
We're currently waiting for the ep to come out and do their assessment for the echp assessment, haven't heard anything and it was supposed to be completed by the start of October
Hopefully people with experience will come and advise me because I'm worrying I'm going to get fined for attendance.
Why can't he access the work independently ? It's a this common with asd?

Hi OP come over to my EHCP support thread. Chase up the LA re the Ed psych. Ring them at least twice a week and follow up with an email. The squeaky wheel gets the grease!

In the meantime, the book Smart But Scattered is helpful for practical ideas.
