Special Schools:
On the plus side, a special school will offer small classes in suitable buildings with teachers who have special training. The staff will be aware of the difficulties you face and special schools often have good links to support services. Physio and occupational therapy are usually available at school and there should be no problems about administering drugs. Your child will meet other children like him, which will help to prevent him feeling isolated by his problems.
However, unless you are very lucky, the school is likely to be a long way away necessitating a long daily journey or boarding education. As a result, your child will lack local friends and you will have only limited contact with other parents, as you will not meet them in the playground. Special schools, especially residential ones, offer a sheltered environment which doesn’t prepare your child for the rough and tumble of normal life and may have low expectations of children’s educational achievements. Parents also complain that children at special schools lack normal children to copy and may pick up strange behaviour and mannerisms from more severely disabled pupils.
Ordinary Schools:
Education at an ordinary school offers plenty of contact with ordinary children. The school will probably be local so both you and your child will gain from a network of friends and acquaintances. However, your child may feel isolated if he is the only child with problems. Another snag found by some parents is that the other children and staff can be overprotective. One mother described her son (who has Down’s Syndrome) being dressed in his coat and gloves by two adoring little girls when he was quite capable of doing it by himself.
Ordinary school offers the full range of subjects and the opportunity to take exams but it will have larger classes and teachers untrained in special teaching methods. A special assistant in the classroom can ease these problems a great deal, allowing children with moderate disabilities to cope in mainstream school.
