Advice really really appreciated at the moment!
My son has a diagnosis of ASD, ADHD and Motor Cordination difficulties and at present, is in Y5 of a mainstream primary. Over the past year or so, my son has become increasingly anxious and has recently started refusing to attend school. He says he feels lonely, worried and anxious most days and I am now at a point where I feel it would be beneficial to home educate. He does not follow the same curriculum as everyone else at school, due to his anxiety issues and has been withdrawn from Y6 SATS, on my request.
However, I am just in the process of applying for an EHCP, as there is a local SEN school near us that I feel would support his needs at secondary level.
I just wanted advice on if withdrawing him up until secondary age is a good idea, if applying to the local council for future support? Could it affect his application in anyway? This is the only thing stopping me from pulling him out of school right now. Any opinions much appreciated. TIA
