Hi
My husband, two children (6 & 3) and I have been making plans for sometime to come out to NZ and are finding many of the posted comments really interesting.
We have hit a bit of a stumbling block, Our eldest boy has an Autistic spectrum dissorder and ADHD and currently has 1 to 1 support at a specialist unit Does anyone know anything of how the education system works or what provision exists? We are so confused at the moment as to whether this move is right for him.
We have been in constant touch with the education department who have been helpful but unable to answer all the questions we have. We think it maybe one of those situations where 'you won't know until you try' but we don't want to compromise him in any way.
Please help!!
Loopylinda do you have any suggestions, as I envisage you may have had similar issues with your son?
