5 year old DS started school at the end of August (we're in scotland). It is mainstream school and DS is diagnosed with aspergers about a year ago and diagnosed with epilepsy only a few months ago. He typically only has focal seizures, no fits or anything. This was detailed in his management plan for school.
2nd week of school and DS hurt himself which seemed to trigger an epileptic fit. Of course, this had never happened before so school called me and an ambulance etc. Went to hospital, discharged a few hours later, increased his medication and changed his management plan. School carried out a risk assessment and deemed it unsafe for him to return right away. Fair enough.
They applied to the council for one to one support which was approved fairly quickly but here I am, 7 weeks later STILL waiting on someone being hired for him. 7 weeks DS has missed of school. Now I know he's just started and isn't missing anything majorly important education wise, but he's missed 7 weeks of being able to settle in and bond with his teacher/classmates. Which is the most important part for him. He struggles so much socially as it is and all I can think is that everyone will have made their little friend groups and he'll be left out when he does return.
Is this a normal length of time to wait? Should I be pushing for him to return after the october break? They've had him in for half an hour here and there after school, no pupils there other than him, but it's just not enough for him. He has no interest in being there and is anxious every time. Getting him back in full time is going to be a nightmare all over again.
He's my first child so I'm new to all the dealing with school/SEN stuff and just feel like I'm not doing enough
