A child with special needs

@AAichka I've taught children with Asperger's. They all remained with their peers and had a "classroom" aide. They came to me for various subjects, but I understand your dilemma.

I do agree.I saw in person their professionalism and dedication,but this is not the right school for my son.He has Asperger syndrome and is much more intellectually advanced than the others.He has good math skills,exellent vocabulary and talks majority of the time with adults.I wanted him to find friends his own age,but is impossible considering the fact that most of the children cannot hold a conversation at all.My son just does not belong there,no matter the school receives more than £10000 to educate him.

Yes Lucinda.Nobody knows him better than me,but here in the UK teaching staff can be very crafty and lists thousands of reasons why your child should stay,no matter they won't follow much if the care plan.Thanks for your response.

@AAichka The education system is probably a lot different in the UK than in Canada. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Why did they put your son in a special school? My son has got spina bifida and hydrocephalus. How old is your son? My son is now 11 years old and he has done well in the last two years at school.

My son is in a special school,but the school does not follow the plan and never takes into account his interests.That's why I want him removed from this school.

@maximax8 my son is 14 and has forme of autism called Asperger syndrome.The psychiatrist decided that he will progress better in a special school and yes he does well academically ,but not socially.I applied privately for EHCP and got it immediately.

I am considering taking him out of school.He is very intelligent boy with very good school report and cannot be placed in a school where the children are very intellectually challanged.He stays alone all day long and this is not what I wanted when he joined this school.

@AAichka Is there much support for homeschooling in your area? My sister homeschooled her daughters K-8 and was able to draw on a network of others for group activities and field trips.

@DWDavis Yes we have good support for the home educating parents and very supportive home education advisor.

My son has Asperger syndrom.I was home schooling him for 3 years and the only reason to send him to school was the social interactions with children of his age and building up friendships.Majority if the children in his school are very challenged intellectually and my son can't have a normal conversation with anyone.Others have anger issues and stay most of the time with an adult.My son had a very good school report and even had some "above expected levels",meaning that he can be placed in a mainstream school despite having Educational care plan.The professional attending the meeting will be :headteachet,SEN officer,GP and a perhaps mental health worker.

He needs to be in a school for mild learning disability not severe.My son reads perfectly well,can write his own stories, has good math skills,computing skills,he is logical thinkee,but has problems with social interaction How can he be successful in such a school where most of the students are severely disabled physically and intelectually.

Thank you April.I hope too.
