Really unsure what to do!
DS is 6 and has severe ASD and attends a special school. We have 2 Neuro typical DDs.
For info we pulled our children a week before schools shut because of Coronavirus, none of us are classed as at risk though DS does have sleep apnoea.
Today the head of his special school has phoned and offered for DS to go to school next tuesday and Thursday, she said she was only extending the offer to a dozen families who they considered would benefit most (DS was preciously on a child in need plan due to us struggling to cope with some very severe behaviour and his dad having a breakdown nearly 3 years ago, he has been off the plan for 2 years)
I am torn, we are struggling, he is not getting any of his usual sensory diet and would really benefit from this, however I don't want to put our family or the school staffs family at risk.
Head said max 5 people in the room. But will most likely just be DS and 2 staff members, possibly another child if their parents accept.
Class has its own playground and equipment and lunch will be a packed lunch from home eaten in the classroom. School day will finish at 3 to allow time for cleaners to deep clean.
I need to let her know by noon tomorrow but i keep flitting between taking the risk for his welfare as he is struggling to have his sensory needs met and is having increasing bad behaviour, and not wanting to risk him and the staff.
