A success story
From ‘M is for Autism’ written by the students at Limpsfield Grange SEN school, Oxted
“It can’t be [what happened] because her sister was there too”“She needs to show her commitment to the process by coming to us, rather than us coming to her”“Who is the parent and who is the child in this relationship?”“We can’t ask the teachers to provide any work for her because she’s on unauthorised absence”“Have you tried reward charts?”
