I've found the debate about special needs schools reopening or not & students with SENs to be very hard for me. I want to say why now. I need to verbalise it somehow. Read or scroll past.
No one is discussing students like my son and I find that hurtful. It makes me sad. 1/

Everyone is discussing students with ASD or behaviour concerns which require the routine and interventions at school. Even the various charities & other bodies involved are only focusing on those students and their needs.
It's as if students like my son don't exist.

What of the students like my son who are physically profoundly & intellectually disabled, medically complex & fragile, and at very high risk of covid? He loves school, too, & seeing all his peers. He could use therapy there. But he can't go in because he's too high risk.

So what upsets me tonight, as I listening to the rain & try to avoid the SEN school debate on twitter, is that once again kids like my son are forgotten, excluded, ignored, left out of the discussion of special needs and school.
What of students like my son?
Remember them too.
