I had a chat with my sons dr as he is having a difficult time in his mainstream school which he keeps being suspened in. He has a diagnose of ADHD with emotional needs. He has been awared 21 hours in his statement and his dr has said if he is awarded this amount his school isnt the right school for him and needs to go to a speacial school for behaviour and emotional needs. The head teacher from his school doesnt want him to leave and she has been great in trying to keep him there much to the disgust of the teachers who think he shouldnt be there. The head has only been there since september 2011. He has 1 on 1 with a T.A and is in a class room by himself as he doesnt settle in a full class room with other children and sometimes he cant cope with 2 or 3 in his class with him. He has been attending a nuture school in the afternoon since november 2011 and that is coming to an end at the end of May 2012 and so should be back in school full time. I am at a loss as what to do and what is right for my son, he is falling behind in his studies. Any tips on sites or info i could check out to help me make my mind up???

The dr has no business advising on educational matters.

However, if he is not progressing as you think he should it does sound like something needs addressing.

Perhaps you could consider a multi-agency meeting. We've had them with DS2, and attended by myself, HT, SENCO, DS2's teacher, OT, TAS person. It means they can all discuss it with you and then they're all on the same page as to what's best for his needs.

we have mat meeting regular and have risk assessments in place too. But we get one thing from these meeting but another thing when the head isnt in school.
