Right before I start with this I'm going to give you a bit of information about my son Michael, as this review is based on our experiences of the governments policy of insisting on the inclusion of special kids in mainstream. Michael is now nearly seven and has a condition called Worster-Drought Syndrome, which is very complex and pretty rare (he was about the 106th child diagnosed). He has learning difficulties, behavioural difficulties, is on the autistic spectrum and has great difficulty speaking. He also suffers from severe epilepsy. Now, my wish for Michael was that he should have the chance to goto mainstream school, therefore I sent him to a ... Read the complete review

The government says that children with special needs should be educated within mainstream schools. Many of these kids are disruptive in the classroom and have very specific behaviour problems. This has an effect on the other children in the class. Does inclusion work? Is this fair? My eldest is in year 11 and about to take her GCSE's. She is an extremely bright girl and all her mock exams indicate that she will be looking at A's and A *'s in all her subjects. We are of course very proud. I totally understand therefore that having a disruptive child in the classroom would be devastating ... Read the complete review

Today was the day I saw my youngest son attend his new school for the first time. For those of you who are unfamiliar with myself and my family, I have an Autistic son aged 11,called Michael. He was diagnosed at the age of 8 after a long battle to get his difficulties,behavior and disabilities recognized. The years since he first attended primary school have been fraught with problems,worry, unhappiness and battles to have his needs met. The battle has never let up, no do I expect it to in the future, however today a big part of it was won. Having spent primary education in a mainstream school, that despite being unsuitable for his ... Read the complete review

At the age of 17 months i knew there was something wrong, a mother does. I had a boy who couldn't talk, all he could do was grunt and point for things he wanted. Most children by that age are starting to say words, but not mine. I went to the doctors and the health vistors a number of times but i was always being told "wait a few more months it will come". I waited and waited, by the time my son was 3 years old he still wasn't saying any thing. At 3 and a half years he started nursery, I told them of my concerns and they decided to back me 100 per cent. I went back to my health visitor and demanded that she ... Read the complete review
