Does anyone have any experience of how children with SN are supported in Scottish schools?
Brief background is that we are trying to decide on a school for our DS, who is 4 and a half and has autism. He is currently still in nursery (deferred year) but we are going to have to register for school in a few months. I have been told he's "too good" for anything other than mainstream school, but I can't see how he's going to cope without some good support. We're even starting to think about home education, at least for the first year or two.
I've read our LA guidance on how they support kids with SN, but it's very vague. Lots of "schools have a legal obligation" type stuff but little about what kind of thing we could expect. I understand it needs to be a bit vague to allow them to assess each child's individual needs but I'm getting a bit lost! Any knowledge or experience would be greatly received.
