Aibu - school anxiety, autism and the new school.

[LondonBound88]

My year 6 dc has been diagnosed with autism and after some EBSA in years 5 and 6, has got a place in the resourced provision for pupils with autism.

So far the visits have been a disaster and now they have a TA managing dc’s transition.
The full time teaching professionals are not getting involved with this process.

The whole transition process so far has been a shit show and already DC is crying and saying they don’t want to go back there.

Aibu to think a TA shouldn’t have been put in charge of this and the stakes are too high?

Can you identify what's going wrong? Generally, TA's in specialist provisions are very skilled, but it's obviously not working for your child.

highly anxious child and at the initial visit things just didn’t go according to plan. I had met teaching staff and said don’t do xyz. When we visited they did do xyz. Child started crying. The visit was a disaster. Child now says they don’t want to go.
