SENCO and what to expect off school?

My LG is due to start rising threes nursery in April and I’m so worried. She had 1:1 in preschool and has really done so well with that but now that’s she starting school what should I expect off the school in terms of her needs and how they should be supporting her!?? My LG has suspected ASD but has not been diagnosed as of yet. She has social and communication difficulties and is not yet toilet trained. We are meeting the nursery teacher and SENCO soon so wondering what to expect!?
Thanks x

Hi Wingingit82,

It might be a good idea to look at the NAS pages on autism and education, which you can see here - https://www.autism.org.uk/about/in-education.aspx. There are sections on various different aspects of managing school life, like the various educational choices available, how to resolve differences, what your rights are as a parent and what accommodations you are entitled to expect from the school. You can also talk to someone from our Educational Rights Service if you wish - https://www.autism.org.uk/services/helplines/education-rights.aspx - which offers confidential advice and support via phone and email, and can help you understand your choices and how to make sure your child has the best school experience possible.

Hope this is of some help,
