My DS is going in to Y1 (still in mainstream) and supposed to be back tomorrow.
School have phoned asking if I can keep him home until Thursday. I have really struggled this holiday and the thought of 2 extra days, while it's pouring with rain is enough to make me feel like crying.
The reason is they have a spare classroom which they are changing in to a sensory room. Only small changes from what we were told last term. The sensory room is primarily for DS and another child with additional needs although the other kids can use it too but how can it take over 6 weeks to change it? Surely it would only take a couple of hours?
Why is it once again DS being penalised because of his autism? Why the fuck can't the LA get their shit together and award him a space in a special needs school, which he desperately needs?
It's bad enough he's only doing half days and hasn't progressed at all learning wise (non verbal, in nappies, cognitive, social, emotional development of a child half his age) but now the school can't even have him back at the start of term.
I know it's only 2 days but I'm totally baffled as to how they said before the summer holidays this room would be converted before September and now somehow it's not.
I'm being unfair I know but I am so tired of fighting all the time
