after the review - one more year

Well that was interesting.

We’ve all decided that Ashley should stay in mainstream education for one more year.

We’ve been advised to go and have a look at the new super duper Special Needs Primary school which opens at Christmas so that we’re best advised.

We’ve been assured that the Special School Question is always on the table but that his progress has been superb over the last year.

He may receive an ipad to help with communication.

He will be “gently lowered” into the new class rather than just going all day. He’ll start in Nursery and spend progressively longer spells in class.

We’ve come away sure in ourselves that these folk have his best interests at heart.

Several specialists were there and they all seemed to know him really well.

They listened to our points of view and we’ve come away a bit better informed.

Pub Lunch now methinks.
