..it’s never going to be a one size fits all and I’m sorry that your experience has been negative, Owoaje...some will thrive in special needs schools and some will not, sadly..I know quite a few who have thrived but I realise it’s not that way for everyone...much the same as in mainstream schools, really, in that some will thrive and some won’t...but special needs schools are more tapered in their structure and their staff to meet individual needs...which are very varied...lots of children with special educational needs do choose mainstream schools at primary level.../...well their parents choose it, obviously...and many struggle but then when they go on to a special needs school for their next level...?...they do find their niche and thrive.../..take huge bounds forward very quickly and their confidence soars etc...I’m just so sorry that’s not how it’s been for you and seemingly, more the opposite...
