Would be really grateful for some help with this, I am good at medical meetings but rubbish with educational ones and always feel defensive, no idea why!
Dd is still in mainstream but after a really bad start in September she is having a gradual transition to special school, for now with her mainstream Ta accompanying her to special school. So far this is only one afternoon a week but the idea was she would be there full time from September with a gradual move in the mean time.
The problem is that she is much more settled now and doing really well comparatively speaking. I still feel she learns in a different way to the other children and that mainstream isn't going to work in the long term but I think her teacher and Ta are now seeing it as a shame to move her to special school when she is doing so well.
Socially she has a lovely friend now which has made all the difference but I know this friend looks after her so its not a friend on an equal level iykwim.
Any ideas for working out how she is doing other than she is calmer and moving up in some areas?
