Hi everyone - newbie here with 12yo daughter just dg

Good evening 

I’m glad to have found this site 

my daughter who is 12 has just had Autism diagnosis. She is current Yr8 however has been deregistered from school since last June following some really traumatic experiences from ignorant teachers 

now she has diagnosis I would dearly love to get her back in to a learning environment- mainstream or otherwise 

im thinking of starting an application for an EHCP myself - not sure whether this is wise or to get her on roll somewhere and go from there
