HOW THE SYSTEM FAILS

My son Nicki-leigh is nearly seven now and has learning difficulties.
The school nicki’s at , at the moment is quite a good school .

Ever since nursery nicki has had problems with writing and reading, general
Learning at school.
I’ve had a right struggle from nicki starting school, to the class he’s in now 3 years down the line,and I’m still finding it a struggle to get the help he needs..

I’ve gone to all the open evenings and had the teachers say to me nicki’s got a behaviour problem, but deep down I knew it was more than this with nicki, I was starting to get annoyed now seeing nicki going through hell trying to do this work, with no help what so ever.

So decided to say something on last parents evening, and did to Nicki’s teacher who said she shared the same concerns, by this time special needs teacher had assessed Nicki who also put it down to` bad behaviour’, I was getting quite peeved by this time!!

I then thought it was time to go to headmaster show him Nicki's work ect and see what he had to say.
He stressed there was not enough resources for the special needs and its very hard to get help, any way he did say he would look into why Nicki had’nt already been put onto special needs list for help.
To my knowledge Nicki was’nt getting any help, if he was it was nowhere near enough.
I later found out Nicki was already on special needs register, but only receiving help once or twice a week , and not with special needs just teacher at school..

Was getting so annoyed now been back to see headmaster and told him I want an appointment with this special needs teacher, so I have got one very soon.

Special needs gave headmaster report from when they last assessed nicki, I was allowed to read this, so did, exactly what I thought `behaviour’ crops up again, what is it with special ne
eds they seem to put it down to any thing but then problem here!
Also said Nicki needed slight help but nothing mayjor .

Nicki cannot write his own name, can barely read and certainly can’t do mathamatics, my experience of this system is not worth writing, three years behind my son is and is still the same as he was in nursery…

My experience of the special needs association is useless and have left my son that long how could he ever catch up to the children in his year..

Special needs are supposed to help children develop properly in every subject of school work, its supposed to be one to one help so the child gets the support needed, and make sure childs developing to class standards or as close as..

I’m not giving up fighting special needs and now I’m receiving help from teachers and headmaster, my child needs it and I’ll fight until I get it…
