was born at 27 weeks post assault by a methamphetamine affected patient kicked me across a labour, whilst at work, at 23.5 week’s causing my water to break and then a subsequent chorionamnionitis. He was watched closley under the preterm follow up program, being diagnosed with retinopathy of prematurity, Causing peripheral blindness, Chronic lung disease, ADHD and ASD level 2, all by 2.5 years of age and extensive therapy. The first primary school we had him enrolled at I had a teacher email me and inform me his diagnosis was wrong he was only Dyslexic ( at 10 years of age) under the watch of this teacher all his supports were stripped away, leaving us to move him to primary whose amazing principal and teaching staff in 18 months managed to reverse all the damage that 1 teacher and principal had done in 6 months ( taking him from a B-C student to D E). He left primary a solid C with 2 As and 2 Bs. We were extremely stressed about high school due to his disabilities, difficulties socially and previous experiences. We applied to as many of his social group ( who ensure he doesn’t make stupid choices), we were told out of catchment ? Even with all his diagnoses, we then took it to the education department, where the man on the phone told me “ is not disabled enough for the supported learning centre and they were refusing his application. When I informed them of disability act stating we could choose his high school, he told me take it to the minister. I emailed on the 1/11/2022 and have never received any response to my request to review the decision! He has ended up at , last week they have twice had 4 students have a physical altercation in class, and been evacuated from the class several other times to deal with behavioural problems by other students. becomes incredibly upset for the staff dealing with this particularly when he witnessed a teacher assaulted whilst breaking up a fight. Academically he is doing reasonably there, he has made 2 friends who also have challenges, but is very aware of other students poor behaviour leading to many interesting conversations about how we manage our behaviour/ words etc.
