A thread: 🧵
Last night I shared a family story with the @DRC_AU about a relative and her autistic son.
2018 was his first year of high school. A short transition had occurred.
His NEP was not updated during this time even though it was a major transition (ie. perfect time). Before the end of Term One the school is suspending.😡 He's disengaged in class, unsure about the work, doesn't ask questions because he feels stupid. School response for this is to send him to the withdrawal room. School policy = 7 trips to withdrawal room and it's a suspension.
