Ok, my 14 year old DS is in year 10 (15 in August, baby of year), he's Autistic and also has severe Dyspraxia and is having a HORRIBLE time in school. Not from other kids...he's 6ft tall so I think this helps in him being left alone, but the teachers, especially the SENCO are doing nothing at all to help him. I've had so many false promises and still nothing gets done. Some of them are quite awful to him. It's an Academy so County Hall can't do anything and Ofsted won't get involved for one pupil. They don't deal with SEN either.
So I'm seriously thinking about HE for his last year. My Mother thinks it's the worst idea ever. Apparently I'm too stupid to teach him anything and how will he ever get into college or get a job with no qualifications, and he's gone through all this for this long, surely he can put up with it for another year...
So, what kind of things would I need to teach him? What about exams? How do I go about the whole thing? I know absolutely nothing! Please help! My son and I are both very stressed!
