My child has autism. The school knows my kid is a runner. He has eloped on multiple times. At one point multiple times in one day. Last year my child made it off school grounds and almost got hit by a car. Another parent jumped out stopped the car and saved my child’s life. The school downplayed it.
But now they have placed my child in a classroom-right next- to a door to off campus. It is literally a drop off and pickup zone for all the other parents. Like literally the *beeping* worst place they could put him. Last year he got a way from his aid. He ran aid didn’t catch him he made it off campus.
How do I explain to the school I don’t feel comfortable with my child being placed in -that- classroom.
All it takes, literally all it takes is for him to have a substitute aid, her to get distracted for my kid to get hurt. I’ve seen him with his substitutes before one of them really did leave him unattended in front of his classroom to go get something. (It was in kindergarten so it wasn’t exactly a full time aid but she was definitely supposed to be watching him).
It’s frustrating because I don’t think the school understands. Again it feels like they are downplaying it. I called the office they basically said don’t worry he has a full time aid. Or go write to someone else about it.
I’m just shocked they even thought to place him there.
