Can't believe I am writing this. DS went to a primary that was very inclusive and always attended every trip with adult support. He's autistic amongst other issues, no major behavioural issues but needs help with his work, sensory needs and emotional support.
he's started secondary - mainstream and irs not going well.
there is a whole year 7 trip soon to the theatre. DS is unsure if he wants to go or not anyway but it's a longish ride on the bus, he's not used to going on a bus, he gets a taxi to school. It's going to the theatre which he's never done.
but I've emailed the school to ask what they will put in place for him, have they done a risk assessment etc. He needs close adult support in new places etc. He has an EHCP.
the school have said they are unsure. They have also asked me to attend with him.
am I wrong in saying no? I just feel if I go, I'll have to go on every trip and it's just not feasible. His behaviour will likely change if I'm there too. I have a younger child with sen as well and other commitments. My father is having surgery the same day and honestly I just don't think it's going to happen.
so I have asked, if I don't go, can he go? I've had no reply. Not sure if I should pay for the trip or not.
one thing after another ðŸ˜
if he doesn't go, would you just keep him off for the day?
