Robert Furey  Date of birth 30th October 1998

Parental submission for Statutory Assessment We first became concerned about Robert when he was around 3 years old. He was becoming uncooperative at nursery and aggressive towards his peers. The nursery with discussions with us felt the best way to manage Robert was to focus on his strengths, he showed a great deal of academic potential. They did a lot of one to one work with him and this was very successful. We also had problems with Robert when out in parks or play areas with other children around, there would often be occasions of inexplicable aggression towards other children.

Because of his abilities we chose a primary school that had small class groups and was academically challenging. It did take a while for him to settle and his reception year was quite successful. It was noted that he did not interact with his peers very much and there were intermittent outbursts of aggression. By year 1 Easter Robert was showing high levels of anxiety and not sleeping well at school he was struggling with unstructured times (play time, change over for different subjects and P.E.). The school recommended he be assessed by an Educational Psychologist. After an incident where Robert hit another child he was given a fixed term exclusion. We felt the school had not handled this incident particularly well and had not put into place any recommendations my by the educational psychologist.

We made the decision to move Robert to a smaller school,  St George Primary. He attended there from September 2005 to October 2008. There were numerous incidents of aggression towards staff and other children and property and running away. Robert had numerous fixed term exclusions culminating in a permanent exclusion.

His permanent exclusion coincided with his diagnosis of Aspergers Syndrome. He moved to Westbury Park Primary, Roberts outbursts became greater, and he became extremely uncooperative, although the school staff did everything to support him  he is now EXPLED from Westbury park and is was being tutored at home. The staff at WP were idiots! The school should be closed down. A lot of Robert’s friends also hated WP.

Roberts’s education has now reached crisis point. As a family we feel Robert needs the kind of support that is currently not available within mainstream setting. For this reason we are keen for him to have a Statement of Special Educational needs. Robert is in the well above average intelligence, coupled with emotional/social intelligence that is severely delayed. Robert has no idea how to behave around other children; he does not function effectively in a classroom. Robert will need an exceptionally high level of support to be able to negotiate school and education, and to learn how to read and cope with social situations. We feel his education will require careful and expert planning and execution if he is reach his potential,  as well as programmatic approaches to moderate his behaviour.

Robert wants to go to school and have friends. He feels he has tried his best to be good and has been punished by his schools by being “kicked out”.

We feel as a family that, without a Statement, Robert will not be able to remain in any school for very long. His needs are complex due to his high level of intelligence coupled with his diagnosed difficulties. It is our hope that the statutory assessment process will identify his needs so that we are able to translate these into effective supports for Roberts’s academic career.

Ultimately, we want Robert to be a happy, well adjusted child. We are aware that Robert is academically very able child, but this does not at present translate into any level of independence. We believe that a sympathetic, but well structured environment coupled with an appropriate social and academic curriculum will be necessary for Robert. HOW ROBERT PRESENTS AT A GLANCE

This isn't true. No one knows me. It would of been a million times better off if I wrote it myself.
