I'm new to Mumsnet and have already posted a message on Special Educational Needs but thought i'd try here too. My 7 y/o ASD son moved into juniors in Sept and i'm having a problem with the way they're applying his support. He has a statement which gives him 25hrs per week, and in the infants this gave him a 1 to 1 who worked with him, either on his own or in small groups with other children. The 1 to 1 moved with him into juniors, but is spending much less time with him. The class teacher has created a group of SN kids within the class and they do work on the same topic but at a lower level than the rest of the children. There is only one TA working with this group, and it is not always the same person. My son is the only one in the group who has a statement, and i think that school are using him to fund a TA for this whole group. He has poor attention and needs constant prompting to keep him on task. I think that he should work within this group, but with a TA leading the group and 1 to 1 support for him. He is 1 to 2 years behind his peers in most subject areas and spends 30 mins per day working on IEP targets with his 1 to 1, but i think this should be more as there isn't enough time to cover all his SALT and educational targets. His 1 to 1 agrees with me but teacher and head insist that this is correct method for supporting in juniors. I don't want to move schools but don't know how to make them see sense!!!
