School for him, it’s not really about learning. I mean, this isn’t really about education, special schools aren’t really just about teaching them, he goes to school for emotional, social reasons.

She said it took a lot of work to get Tom to where he was before the pandemic and the return to school after the first lockdown was very difficult.
She said that while some children from special schools can do remote work, her son “absolutely can not”. “In my 16 years of being a parent of a child with a disability, I’ve never seen such divisiveness within our community and it’s very sad to see. I’ve had parents who’ve removed themselves from online social groups because they’ve been so upset by it,” she said.
He said many teachers have not been satisfied with the responses from government and health officials about the safety of a return to school. St Paul’s is a school for at risk youths that provides an alternative and less formal setting for children who have become alienated from mainstream education for reasons of truancy or behavioural problems or family difficulties.

Simply address the concerns
