Hi all - my daughter (6) is at the early stages of expected ASD diagnosis. The school’s approach has been terrible. She has been moved to a room alone with no interaction with peers for an indefinite period (with almost certain negative affect of emotional well-being). They claim that if not she would be excluded (we believe that attitude to be discriminatory and will pursue it separately). It’s just not a welcoming environment and we wonder if you can recommend any schools in SW London with good SEN provision, or at least a supportive approach?
Many thanks!
Hi there,
I’m so sorry to hear this about your daughter. You can search for schools that cater for children with an autism spectrum disorder on our Autism Services Directory, here’s a link www.autism.org.uk/directory.aspxAlso you may want to contact our Education Rights Service who provides information, support and advice on educational provision and entitlements. http://www.autism.org.uk/services/helplines/education-rights.aspx
Hope this helps,
SteveMod
