So Little Miss has been in a specialist unit in another school for the past 3 weeks. It isn’t helping. She is beyond stressed at school and spend much of her time sitting on her TA’s lap shouting obscenities and threats at anyone within sight or hearing.
She is a different child at home. She still stresses, swears, hits out, is uncooperative. But she is nowhere near as stressed as she is at school at the moment.
I had a call from Crap Dad after he had picked her up. She’s poorly, grey, no energy, sad, quiet. Not like her at all. She rarely gets ill like this, as normally illness barely slows her down. I feel bad because my first reaction on being told was relief. Relief that she can have a day off school. That us just bloody awful, especially knowing that she has to be proper poorly to be knocked out with it. My poor poorly love.
We are no closer to getting her into a more suitable setting. Everything goes at a snails pace, with the child, MY child being so far from the center. The school that we visited in the summer us now full, so they are saying that they cannot take her. The Ed Psych has not even met or observed her yet. If we took her out of school temporarily we would be taking her out of all statutory provision, so getting her into a specialist setting would become much more difficult.
There has been no therapeutic input from CAMHS ever, despite their acknowledgement that she has complex needs. I left the last ADHD clinic to cry in my car for 10 minutes due to the complete lack of advice or help. Then the head teacher us being advi to raise a safeguarding alert as Little Miss is not on any medication!
The silver lining is the head teacher in all this, as she is trying desperately to work with us to find a solution for Little Miss. She is NOT going to be raising a safeguarding alert and has advocated for us really well in that regard.
