Don’t know if this is the right place but dd is in year 6 and has asd, she’s 10, has an ehcp, 1:1 all day at school (never left alone) she has severe behavioural problems (is aggressive to several members of staff) I was told at her last annual review that mainstream secondary will be fine for her. Despite me disagreeing, she has not one single friend in her school as she is mentally far too behind her peers. She lies on the floor screaming has regular melt downs, spends most of her time at her work station instead of her class room but despite all this all the professionals involved said mainstream. I decided myself to apply for sen schools and go against their suggestion of mainstream but low and behold today get a letter that she’s been accepted into the mainstream school next to our house?! She can’t go to mainstream, I won’t be sending her there. What next? I guess I have no choice but to home Ed which was my plan if she didn’t get into an sen school. I’m just so annoyed the school wouldn’t support me in this, I knew I didn’t stand a chance getting her into an sen school with no support from the professionals involved.
