Hi Parents/Carers.
I've just started the most difficult process, trying to find the best Autistic school for my Daughter. She's due to start this Sept. I feel like I have no idea where to begin.... Any advice from anyone who has been through this process or is currently going through... Any schools anyone could perhaps recommend, although I do understand that every child in unique and all have different needs.
Thank you so much!
I also wanted to take the time to appreciate all Autism parents x

Hi LiliaJanete,
You may find the following information useful.
This page on our website has links to lots of helpful information about education for a child with an autism: http://www.autism.org.uk/about/in-education.aspx. In particular the information about choosing a school may be of most interest at the moment: https://www.autism.org.uk/about/in-education/choosing-school/england.aspx.
You can search for schools that cater for children with an autism spectrum disorder on our Autism Services Directory: www.autism.org.uk/directory.aspx
You may want to contact our Education Rights Service who provides information, support and advice on educational provision and entitlements. Please see the following link for further information: http://www.autism.org.uk/services/helplines/education-rights.aspx.
I hope that helps you.
