School asked me to sign a consent form today for a Thrive assessment for my ASD son aged 7. I had a quick look on the website and it seems to be aimed at emotionally disturbed children, no mention of the specific difficulties posed by autism.
Maybe I'm being oversensitive, but I feel like the finger is being pointed back at me and my parenting skills rather than aknowledging that the behaviour he displays is a result of frustration and fitting in with imposed rules etc. because of the ASD!?
It may help him I suppose, and possibly this is about the school trying to equip him with emotional tools before going up to key stage 2 (which will undoubtedly be very difficult for him).
Does anyone else have any knowledge or experience of 'Thrive'?
