  1. Hi, sorry I haven't posted a thank you or a reply so here it is a big thank you for your advice it was really useful. The school is still rubbish and no help whatsoever having said that I have no need to worry as in Sept my three sons 2 have high functioning ASD, will be starting a new primary school, the SENCO has already been to the house to see the boys at home on a Saturday they have a transition day on the 10/7/13 and the boys just seem happier counting down the days till they can leave. A big thank you for your help Mum2jsic
  2. This is my first post & I've joined to ask for help concerning my children who have High Functioning ASD. Our nine year old was diagnosed last July, which was a battle on it's own trying to get the school to see his condition. They seem to be fighting us every step of the way. We have tried to explain to the school his requirements; his little quirks; his very nature which makes him him. They listen one minute & then state that he seems ok at school. It gets to the point that our son comes home and has major meltdowns about what has happened through out the day, he hardly sleeps and hardly eats, We have told the school in meetings and in writing about the major things that can trigger a meltdown. They take this on board and nod their heads but things don't change. He is also claustophobic; so when they put two clasess together in the same classroom with 46 children and 3-4 teachers he gets overly hot, scared, pale, and comes close to passing out, he is not allowed to change his seat so there fore he can not move to sit by a window or the door so that he can leave, when he gets overwhelmed. The list is endless. We have recently been told that the school and Local Authority will be undertaking a CAF for the family. This was only due to our eldest & his brother having slightly lower attendance. This was due to his condition but the school didn't seem to appreciate it. Our question is what can we do to make the school change/understand his needs? What's our choices in upping the response to the school? Surely as they get extra funding for him they have no excuse to not undertake the stuff needed for him. any and all responses will be read and taken on board. Thanks
