Hi,
I have a daughter with Autism and NF1 ,she is in year 6 now in mainstream, for secondary school transfer i have applied for special school, but i didnt get place in the school i opted for. I have been offered a school , which has all non verbal kids, and my dauhghter is in pre verbal stage, i dont want her to be in a group/ peers with verbal/ some verbal communication. so i have doen appeal for the school, In meantimei have been asked by the school which council has offered me to fill up the admission form. But since i am waiting for appeal, do i need to secure a school place for her.
What if i wait for appeal and dont fill up the school form , will my daughter will be left without any school?
Please help me in th matter and pour suggestions plz.
Thanking you all in advance
