I am hoping someone could advise or point us to someone who could help. DS is currently unable to walk after an accident with multiple fractures to his pelvis and leg. He has had a long spell in hospital and is now at home receiving weekly physio. The prognosis is good although the time scale is uncertain as to when he will be able to safely walk with crutches. We have had a meeting at school where they have basically told us the school has very limited access for wheelchairs and he can only attend the lessons scheduled in the few accessible classrooms. This means he cannot do any things with his friends, go to lunch hall or go the library because of the steps. Consequently I am just taking him to 1 or 2 lessons a day. This is very frustrating for us as he is a keen pupil and just wants to be with his friends. I have asked about temporary ramps/stairlifts but they say they will not provide these as part of the school is grade one listed and they say they are excused from the disability act. Also his disability is temporary. However the main block of classrooms in an 1960's extension and it is this that he can access the ground floor of, but not the 2 floors above. The impression we are getting is that they would rather he did not attend school at all until he can walk as its just all to much effort for them, however I thought he had the right to an education even at a private school. Does anyone have any experience or advice? Many thanks.
