So we have been looking for a placement for ds1 (HFA) for sixth form as his current (specialist school for HFA) school say would be unlikely to be able to meet academic needs for sixth form. Saw quite a nice further education college yesterday but am pretty clueless as to what type of support to ask for or what could be given in this environment. It seems such an enormous leap from a tiny, very sheltered environment (thirty pupils) to a college where there are 3000 pupils on roll although much smaller in the A level centre which is where he would want to go. His main issues are anxiety rather than academic and he has already said having a TA in the classroom with him would probably increase his anxiety rather than reduce it. Any suggestions welcome for what has worked or even, not worked, for your child at sixth form.
