[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 457566, member: 1991"] When difficult child 3 was about to start school, we were offered a SpEd place for him at an autism satellite class. But it was in Wollongong (way south of us, different city) and even if we drove there direct, it would take just over an hour. And the bus that would pick him up form our door, and drop him back at our door, also had other kids to pick up along the way. Because we were furthest away he would have been first picked up, last dropped off. He had already been travelling for forty minutes each way to his SpEd pre-school class and getting sick on every trip. The new school placement would have had each trip lasting over 90 minutes, up to two hours. We never got a timetable, but we were given this information. It was one of the main reasons were had to decline the offered placement. The thought of an autistic 5 yo throwing up on a very long bus trip on winding lonely roads was just too much, I knew they would not get much out of him at school under those circumstances.
