My DS (9) has a diagnosis of AS/ADHD and is in a mainstream school. Most of the time he is coping well, but regularly he doesn't. As he is getting older I've noticed that his academic progress seems to have slowed down a lot, perhaps even deteriorating. He often complains about being bored, but I'm afraid he has just switched off. Teachers are mainly focusing on keeping his behaviour under check, and don't put much pressure on him to learn/perform, as that tends to be a trigger for angry/anxious outbursts.
I am now wondering if he would be better off at another school, a private school perhaps, as smaller class sizes would be easier for him to cope with. However, I don't know where to start! All the prospectuses and website blurb seems to be the same, and they all claim to be fantastic. Can anyone put me in the right direction which ones I should be looking at? We're in the Cambridge area.
Many thanks!
