choose a school

Hi there, we will be moving to the UK from Italy. Our 5-year-old has severe autism, no verbal skills.

Which kind of school would be the best for him over there? And please can you tell me if there is a place in the southeast of England with a better choice of school so we can relocate all the family in that area.

Thank you

Francesca & Darren

Hi Daniel_Lim, thank you for sharing with the online community. You may find it useful to look at the support available for autistic adults and the funding for social care: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/social-care.

Best wishes,

Any school can accept 20 years old boy with autism? Who can speak simple English, he is good to memorize words but cannot speak in full sentences like normal boy..

Hi NAS74979,

Welcome to the NAS community. I hope your move to the UK goes well. You may like to have a look at out autism services directory, which might point you in the direction of some SEN (Special Educational Needs) schools which may be suitable for your child:

All the best,

your son would need to go to an SEN school

the southeast is quite a big area, can you narrow it down a bit?
