shamu Report post Posted September 11, 2008 We've had a difficult summer - well, we had quite a good summer due to playschemes etc being available - because we knew that there was no appropriate school for DS come September. He was meant to go to the borough's SLD school in the autistic provision, but a lack of teaching staff meant that he couldn't start. He couldn't go back to nursery either so he's been at home full time every day since last week . I knew they were recruiting, but was told that it would probably be January (when DS finally is of "statutory" school age) before he'd start On Monday I got the phone call I had never expected - they'd recruited a teacher who could start immediately She has a three week induction, then the children will have a graded start, but he'll be in full time appropriate school before half term Can you tell I'm excited!!! We had our first morning for settling in and he seems happy, there's only 5 in his class and the three adult teachers/support workers. I'm over the moon and just wanted to share something positive on the boards as I feel I come here full of woe a lot.... Roll on October!!!!
