ds is at an SLD school, and parents there are quite alienated from the school and each other due to the kids being bused in.
Has anyone got experience of good parent support networks at special schools? Could you tell me a bit about them as the school is looking into improving support?
I'm thinking of training (especially in challenging behaviour, sleep, toiletting etc.) and social networks. At present there is the odd coffee morning once in a while, but they tend to be awkward and only a few parents turn up. The PTA group is dominated by staff and while everyone is grateful for their hard work, it doesn't provide a social outlet for parents. I'd love to meet more parents and have training made available to us.
