    Me and my wife have got a open mind but the why we are thinking is that are child has a 121 support but she is not experienced in his condition. The school could provide 10 adults to support him but its not going to help if they don't no how to handle him.

    Could you have a meeting with his 1-1 and the SENCO to discuss how his 1-1 handles him? Perhaps you could give her some advice. I assume she's had some training though?

    That is not a option as its all coming from the school and they believe that we parents are wrong.

    Schools often have to deal with autistic children. A good TA (teacher's assistant) might be the answer. They could work with your child 1on1 and help manage his behaviour as it sounds like its an issue at school.

  • I have done some research online about taking my child out of school and home educating him till he gets a space at this Special School in Sept. But I have come across some information which has left me even more worried. If I take him out of school and because he has SEN Statement the authority will cancel that and it will also jeprodise his place at the new school in Sept.

    Can someone tell me if this is right because I am confused as it leaves me with no option to leave at the school. Thank you

    I'd talk to your LEA to get a better idea as to what your options are.
