It's amazing and really ought to be out there in the schools who have such low expectations of our children.

I actually think as well as being amazing it is also very sad.

Gosh, it would be great for her to go to special schools and talk to

the teachers. Would they listen? i would love for her to talk to my

son's ex speech therapist, the one who said my son was probably never

going to be able to do any school work.

We have a young British lady on this list who expresses herself very

well via computer. It's Barrett's daughter. She has a webpage

where she posts her thoughts and ideas. I was quite thrilled reading it

as she sounded very mature and compassionate.

-We are having an awful time with Katy's new school.I have written

another post ,but it has not come through.In Primary school after

disagreements with the school in the early years katy had a fantastic

TA .When she left Primary school although with very limited langauge

skills she had made amazing progress.She is a bright girl.

However, her new school seem to think poor communication = low IQ.

An example is on leaving Primary school she was almost at a level 3

with language support for her subjects.Yesterday she had an hour

lesson writing out the numbers 11- 20 !!

It makes my blood boil ! We have a meeting Nov 7th,but i don't feel

we will get anywhere.

Looking at options and info for home schooling now.

Apologies if my earlier post comes through .

Sharon.

is it possible for there to be communication between the old school

and the new? and can you take them examples of work she has

completed or video of her working at a higher level?

They may not be equipped to work above level 2. Perhaps find out if they

have other children working

above level 2. If the majority of their pupils come from primary special

schools they may have very low expectations and be pretty rigid in

adhering to them

-Steph,

I find it hard to believe they are treating her so.There was a long

transition.The teacher who runs the Autism Resource center in the

school came several times to see her working,also the key worker.They

talked with her TA and teachers ,took samples of her work,even worked

with her.I provided them with Katy's work from her last year in

Primary for them to look over.

Something is very wrong.Since her starting i have been asking to see

her work,and only last week this has been provided.She has a diary

where they write things like online maths,etc.maths seems to be the

biggest problem.I think they do not have experience to differentiate

the work and support her language with visuals etc I don't know for

sure.So we have a meeting to attend to try and sort it.We have been

working with Katy after school at the level she was at in primary and

she isn't having too many problems .Only thing is she is tired by

this time.

I'm so worried as we looked around several schools in the area and I

felt this was a place that she would fit into and grow.

-Sally,

It's a mainstream school with an Autism support unit attached. I

think they have a problem because of her poor language and are having

trouble facilitating her learning plus low expectations.

Thanks,

Sharon.

I'm sure you are right. Teachers are very verbal people. There was some

research from Canada a few years ago showing that autistic people who

were believed to be MR showed as highly intelligent on non-verbal

reasoning tests. Then some stuff about " who would ever have thought it "

from the staff. So.........I'm sure you are right.

I had this problem and found it impossible to overcome in an acceptable

time frame. If they are attached to a main stream school they should

have resources in the main school which they can draw on. They possibly

need primary resources rather than remedial secondary school resources.

That might be part of their problem ie they need maths for little

children illustrated with lots of pix rather than lots of chat.

However they can offer resources like choirs, music tuition, swimming

lessons, group sport (if they do them and if your daughter likes them)

which you will find very difficult to replicate at home.
