hi i live in rotherham and have a 9 year old son who is autistic and he goes to st anns junior and infant school its near the town centre but since my son has been there hes gained confidence and hes calmed down alot from what he was like they really do take into concideration the individual needs of the child if you need anymore info about the school i will be willing to help

hi all thanks for all the help and information but i have now got a maclaren major pushchair today for him but i am after a footrest for 1 if anyone has 1 many thanks to you all

hi i i havent had dealings with ryegate as i live in rotherham but i will look into it thanks

he used to wear insteps in his shoes but he hasnt wore them for a while he is getting dla for autism hes on lower rate and middle rate no hes not on any meds at moment 250 is about the price on all sites for them i just wonder if anyone knew of any cheaper ones thanks all for the information it is a big help

he used to be under an ot but hes not seen them for a while but i will look into asking my gp for a referal back to them its worth a shot. he doesnt need any supports on the pushchair when he walks his legs turn inwards after a while causing him pain this is why im looking for 1 thanks for the link i will have a look at that

hi does anyone know where i can get a special needs pushchair from cheap i have been on ebay but im not good with winning the bids keep getting out bid at last minute lol. is there anywhere else i can look as my son can walk but he has to much movement in his legs so they start to hurt if he does to much hes 9 and normal prams are no good so i have to resort to carrying him when his legs hurt which can be to much for me.

hi try the education department at your local council they should be able to help you out if not i dont know if sheffield have 1 but in rotherham we have a group called parent partnership that can help and give advice

:)hi all not posted for a while but i thought id give you an update my son who has autism has moved from his old school to a new one and he has calmed down a lot and is starting to do his work and gaining confidence each day the school hes at really understands children with any disability and my son now enjoys going to school

see if you can get help from citizens advice or some place like that they may be able to help

the £60 is paid anywhere from january to march there is another thread on here with a link to the web page with more info on it

hi i have sent a email to my mp to help with the campaign

Hi does anyone know of a pub in rotherham that needs a darts team.We have just been told that the pub we play for is closing on new years day,if you can help please let me know THANKS

Hi jon&emma i am involved with parent partnership in rotherham and these are the ones who are helping me get support with my son dominic he is 8 years old and is still struggling but the headmaster is starting to understand a little bit more than he did i also have the autism communication team learning support and the educational phsycologist involved mine is just being looked into for a sen statement but with all the reports and support should be ok. Hope everything goes ok for you in your meeting at school

hi all a new update i have been to look around some resource centres this week for help with my son who has autism. the 1st resource centre i went to was for children with bed behaviour which looked ok but when talking to the teacher i said it would be no good as my son would pick up on the behaviour of the other children it was a great resource centre though offerd plenty of help. The 2nd was a autism resource centre which teaches children and either helps them back into main stream or refers them to a special school this sounds great for my son who is struggling within mainstream it gives him that bit extra support he needs

i have just had a ten pound christmas gift from dla for my son who is on dla and have been told in the letter that i get a gift for being a carer as well

don't think i know him but wish him all the best from me hope he makes a full recovery

hi all just a quick up date to this thread have spoken to education department today they are revuing my sons sen statement soon and have said if i want to move him schools i can look into ways of transfering him to cause little stress or i can wait and see what happens in review meeting and if nesseary they will get him extra help in school i have got a meeting tomorow with school so see what they say

i have a 12 year old who is at comp when he was younger if some one picked on him he didnt think twice about hitting out through help and support he now learns to control his temper and he has a special teacher at school where he can go and talk to them about anything he still gets picked on but it helps him to talk about it and get it off his chest he still gets bullied but he has learnt to sort it out him self by talking to his support teacher i only step in if it goes to far

it seems that there is a lot of mianstream schools that are having trouble coping with children with autism,adhd and other disabilities.My sons school just haven't got the staff or fundings to help children with these problems and it is very annoying for us parents

sounds a good thing wouldn't mind find out a bit more info on it

the school has is applying for a sen statement but that is just so that they can get him into a special school at the moment he is only doing half a day school he is not allowed to go full time as they cannot cope with him

hi all i have just found out from my sons school that the reason he cant stop in his main stream school is because of fundings and not enough staff to deal with children with autism so they are looking to try and remove them to special schools

i use freecycle to its good
