Student Inclusion Plan, can anyone help?

[Perrie80]

Ds 16 is now at college doing A levels.

Ds got the gcse grades he needed(just) because he's had OCD for a number of years, it's clinically diagnosed and it was so bad at 14 he wanted to take his own life. He got help from camhs 6months erp last year and Medication and huge improvement but since college again, he's struggled again with the OCD. The psychiatrist has said he has ADD traits and ASD traits although doesn't have a diagnosis. He is on the adhd list but 2 years for ASD diagnosis and ds doesn't know if he wants to be assessed.
The only help he had a school was rest breaks in exams, no extra time.

My son didn't want college to know much but it's become apparent he needs some extra support.
The college have said they can draw up a inclusion plan and make teachers aware. We have a meeting to discuss.

He's never had any help before and I don't have any idea what would be reasonable adjustments for them to make.

Big difficulties are time keeping/organisation.
Concentration can be bad because of worry/rumination.
He never seems to know when the assessments seem to be until the day, but speaking to a friend on one of the same A levels, she is aware so he somehow doesn't take it in.

I was wondering if anyone could help as to what we can ask for.

Thanks so much!!

I think it would be best to meet with the SENCo at the college, explain what it is he has difficulties with, and then ask them what they suggest.

They will have experience and knowledge of what might help.

My dc (at University, rather than college) has been given all sort of support that I'd never even heard of, so wouldn't have been able to ask for.

Thank you! If you don't mind me asking, what kind of difficulties does your dc have?

Just random suggestions:

-Teachers could email you with dates for upcoming assessments, when they know them, so you are aware. They could also email your son if you think that would be better?

-WRT organisation, would it help to have someone sit down during the week with him and plan what he should do when? Does he have consistent days of the week/deadlines for homework?

-A locker in school where he can keep important things, and they don't go home with him to potentially get lost?

-Time keeping, if he is e.g. sitting in the common room when he should be going to lesson, could a member of staff prompt him, if there is one available?

-Concentration- can teachers send him their powerpoints etc so that he can ensure his notes are complete after lesson? Would being able to take a short break during the lesson help?

-Depending on the school's resources, they may be able to arrange for him to have a session with a member of staff once a week/fortnight to help him with general issues. Do his teachers offer any drop in support?

Apologies if I've misunderstood anything he needs?
