admum Report post Posted April 7, 2005 My son has another year to go before transfer to secondary. We fought at tribunal and won and hes been in a small independent special school for Dyslexi and Dyspraxia. His dx is Aspergers, adhd and Dyspraxia. He doesnt have a dx of learning difficulties but has difficulties with maths. He is about 1-2 years behind although it is improving since changed schools. He has a very good reading ability and at 9 is reading his way though the Antony Horowitcz series. THe lea will push for a return to mainstream which im very unsure about. At school he gets weekly ot with an ot 1-1 and daily ot/yoga lesson for co-ordination and stress as a part of a group. He gets salt 1-1 and a social skills group. I suspect that in secondary school this will all disappear. At the present he is v stressed and we are concerned that if he is feeling like that in a small speciliast school how would he cope in a large mainstream secondary. We were looking at Centre Academy that takes adhd kids and "mild" ASd. Does anyone know of this school. Can anyone email or message me their views on secondary schools in the london area - private or state that may be appropriate. Ive been told to look at boarding but that will be a fight for lea!

Zemanski Report post Posted April 11, 2005 adjustments to the behaviour policy as applied to your child need to be considered we currently have serious issues with school giving detentions for personal organisation, stress reactions like poor control of pitch and volume and even for getting frustrated over literal interpretations which are part of com's problems due to AS. The school is refusing point blank to make adjustments now and his anxiety levels are at such a peak that he had a meltdown before the teacher could open his mouth on friday - and he hadn't even done anything wrong! - people do seem to forget this one - we did zemanski Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
