DS has been at school for a total of 7 days.

After what appeared to be a good start, he's now screaming (and I do mean screaming) going in and having to be physically restrained to keep him there.

Just chased his statement and a decision is not due till 10th October and, talking to his 'contact' (I don't actually know what her job description is) it looks likely he will get minimal support, despite the fact the Ed. Psych. said he needed FT 1-2-1

I can't even see how DS will be in school until then the way this is going. I can't keep leaving him somewhere that he is so unhappy and having to be physically restrained (and that's not a pop at the teachers, I appreciate they have to keep him safe)

My DS is 4. I have agreed to keep him in school until his statement comes through (DH has agreed that I can HE if (i) the statement does not realistically match what DS needs and (ii) DS is not happy at school) but I can't do this until half term.

I feel physically sick. I cannot do this. I am just not strong enough.

Oh sweetheart im so sorry that sounds rough. I don't know what to say,, but have you tried posting in special needs, children, rather than here, becaouse I think that is where all the knowledgeable people are.
