Decisions decisions

First of all thanks to all those folk who have contributed to our thinking on this blog and others and on FB.

We are having a Review in the morning to talk about Ashley and need to put the Question on the table “when will Special school be appropriate for him?”.

The school want him but we can’t see him staying there for another 5 years. The Specialists have pointed out that Physio, OT and a lot of Technology and specialist knowledge await him at SS.

However, he has mobile able peers around him every day and one-to-one care inschool.

It’s a toughy but we are coming down on the side of keeping him in mainstream school for another year.

BUT, we need to keep this discussion open. There feedback is essential for us to make the right decision when the time comes.

The work they’ve done has been excellent but that gap is widening between him and the other 5 year olds and we wonder when he will become distanced from his classmates.

9am GMT tomorrow. Wish us luck. :)
