Answer 1

Not sure what your question is - but think you need to push for a meeting with social worker (if he has one), and demand some answers as to the support he is being given / not given.
Keep pushing!!!

Answer 2

It is the schools responsibility to deal with special needs. If they have to transport to a different school or just provide extra teachers. Start calling the board of education and your county commisioners. Start telling everyone from talking to people at your local papers and they will start dealing with you. As long as you are passive they will run over you. Call the department of family and children services and ask them to look into the school problem before they come out and claim you are not the ones sending the child to school. Call the juvinille dept and let them know it is not your fault the school does not want your child at school that the school needs to make the arrangements for the childs extra needs and you do not want to get in trouble for the child being out of school. Make sure everyone hears your voice.

Answer 3

I think there is something in law that children who are suspended are entitled to a private tutor. You cannot be forced to home educate your son - it is not right for every child or every parent.

I think you have to make a formal complaint to the school governers and education authority in the first instance. It is very important that your letter contains the words 'formal complaint'. This means that they cannot just ignore it. Also send it recorded delivery.

After that, just make sure you make a complete nuisance of yourself at the school and education authority. Ring every day until they get so fed up of you that they do something to get you off their back.

45 days exclusion is very extreme for a junior school child -especially one with special needs. Maybe it would be worth looking at other schools in the area - its obvious this one is not the best for your child.

Answer 4

I would buy him some functional toys that will help his motor skills and development skills. Like the big colorful giant legos (you can get them at ToysRUs) or 20-30 piece puzzles (I found a pack of 4 at Walmart). I agree the toys should be age appropriate but children with Downs Syndrome progress much slower than "normal" children, so any minute you can use to give/teach vocabulary is great.

Answer 5

Write a letter to The School Governors and ask for an explanation politely.

Answer 6

your grandson should never have been excluded, the school know that your grandson as special needs so they should under stand, and he also needs to learn like every one else, and the teachers should never have left himon his own so there for its not his fault its hers

Answer 8

I suggest you write to OFSTED (they oversee schools and should be your next port of call), outlining everything that has happened. They will know what to do!

Good luck!!!
