DS is starting special school in September and we've just been sent some forms to fill in.
They offer a taxi service to pick the kids up and drop them off, which is amazing, but I just can't see DS getting in a taxi with kids he doesn't know and a taxi driver he doesn't know.
He'll be 6 when he starts, and has had very little time at ms school due to reduced timetables and then being excluded. He hasn't been to school at all since October, has had zero education as the home tutor was hopeless and the replacement only comes once a week and does art stuff with him.
I have also been very unwell due to pregnancy complications and as a result, he's not been out much in the last few months and he is a lot more anti social and less talkative than he used to be.
He goes to an SN after school club two afternoons, which has been great, but when he arrives he has difficulties going in, often we have to wait between 10-30 mins for him to be ready to make the transition.
I'm really worried about him needing this amount of time to get in the taxi, I can't imagine they will be able to wait for him.
I was hoping to have passed my driving test, but I've failed once and had to take so much time out this year that I'm worried I won't have done it by September!
Please could anyone tell me their experiences of taxi travel for ASD kids going to ss?
