Why can't the teachers understand my child's needs after a year and 2 months?

I'm really stressed! My 12 year old ASD and dyslexic son has been excluded from school again for the third time his year. Due to kicking off because he didn't understand the teacher and couldn't cope with her shouting at him. The second time was because he kicked off due to a teacher taking his bag and coat. Why can't  the teachers understand my child's needs after a year and 2 months.

    My 12yr old has dyspraxia and waiting diagnosis for autism. He gets into trouble socially as he is sexual and started to be physically sexual by touching a girls leg. He does not remember any of it.

    I wonder if @VioletFenn and @IndependentSupportServices could offer any advice for the above?

    Hi @kersum

    Does your son have a formal diagnosis? If so, school are legally obliged to make accommodations for him and his potential behaviour. I do know how you feel as, prior to his diagnosis, my own son was excluded from school on several occasions - the school refused to accept that he needed help and it took the intervention of the LA to make them do anything. 

    It will be worth looking into whether there are any ASD support groups local to you, as they will be able to give more tailored advice. If you let me know which county you're in I'm happy to try to point you in the right direction.

    Hi @kersum

    Sorry to hear you are having difficulties with the school. Every school will have a SEND offer on their website which will detail how they support children with special needs.This document should also contain the name of the SEND governor who you can approach with any issues if you feel the school are not responding to your concerns. 

    Your school or cluster may also employ a Parent Support Adviser (PSA). You can find out if you have one and their contact details through the school office.

    You will also have a SENDIASS service in your area. This is the SEN and Disabilities Information, Advice and Support Service. You can do an internet search to find where they are and how to contact them. They will also have details of any local support services specific to your and your son's needs.
