DS starts his SS tomorrow. It's a very Special SS chosen SO carefully and a result of visiting probably every SS that exists in London.
It's a large-ish school with opportunities and we are splitting the family unit for a while for him to attend without delay. It was a battle to get him into this school as they have high expectations for achievement and behaviour and I know that had he not had the ABA his chances of attending now would be zero.
BUT, I'm sad to be leaving such an amazing period of our lives filled with progress and hope and frankly gutted that it couldn't have been accommodated in mainstream as it would have worked, especially for someone like ds.
The truth is though that our LA isn't ready for ds, or us or for anything that might challenge the status quo and god knows I've tried everything.
So the next chapter begins.......
