Special Education research help wanted?

Question

I am in my final year of university and i am doing my dissertation on support for children with disruptive behaviour (ADHD/ADD, Autism) in Mainstream schools.

i am in the uk so i would appreciate it if parents in the uk who have children in mainstream school that have ADD, ADHD or autism to answer.

My question is do you feel that your child has enough support in mainstream schools to meet their needs? What support would you like if your child is not recieving enough? How do you think he teachers and other pupils support or not support your child?

Thank you for the answers in advance, it will really help me if i can have as many people answer as possible. Thank you x

Answer 2

Sorry, not in the UK, but in the US, and my 6 year old son has ADD, and Down Syndrome.  He is getting an excellent education at his school.  I am also a Special Ed. teacher at a different elementary school, so ofcourse I work a lot with him at home.
