I see so many posts where people are fighting with their schools to get their child's SNs recognised and assisted. It just makes me sad that so many parents that are struggling to deal with a child with SNs, numerous appointments, uncertainly, fear of the future, and then on top of it all they have to fight tooth and nail with their school as well.
DS2's school has been wonderful, and we've been told numerous times (by paed, OT, etc) how proactive, cooperative, and helpful they are (and how stunned the medical professionals are by the school's willingness to provide any and all support for DS2).
But surely this shouldn't be extraordinary?? Shouldn't this type of behaviour be normal for all schools?? It's really a sad statement about our society when a school that is working to meet the needs of their students with SNs is the exception, rather than the norm.
I guess it says a lot about who is valued in society and who is not. And that REALLY makes me unhappy.
