workingmum Report post Posted March 1, 2011 Lokks like the LEA are backing out of tribunal - hence indicating that they might be considering a special school. However as DC is high functioning - we are not sure that is a suitable placement. we rather prefer a small independent school with specialist support. Issues we have 1. role models 2. Diverse curriculum etc Anyone have any views on this please - are we thinking right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justine1 Report post Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Hi I recently posted on the same topic,under education titled "is it all about academic ability" I found everyones views very interesting.Best bet would be to see the school they are suggesting you don't have to agree to it and you can find a school in the meantime that may be better suited,from my experience best to go so all the schools now than to wait.Then you tell them what you want and why,you will have to back everything up.
