What happens when a primary age kid is excluded permanently?

[TheCountessofFitzdotterel]

....and they are already at the school that has the best chance of meeting their needs?

My 8yo ds is very close to being excluded and I want to get my head round what our options will be in case the worst happens.

Without going into details (it's very long and complicated) he is already at the school with enhanced mainstream provision. So if he can't cope there, he's not going to last 5 minutes somewhere else.

There don't seem to be any PRUs for primary age in this or the neighbouring LEA. Does provision take any other form or would our only option be home ed?

Thanks.

An appointment has just come through for him with an OT for assessment at the sensory clinic, so that must be part of the assessment for autism. (Hmm, they're not really telling me what's going on - no-one I've seen has mentioned that this would be happening! But it's good.)

He managed a full morning in school today so that's something.

I was just reading your thread thinking that it sounds very much like a sensory issue. I have no experience of autism, but my son had a number of similar, but milder, issues throughout primary. He ticks so many boxes about Sensory Processing Disorder.
