Applying for a statement

Hi Annie

I'm not sure if you mean you're at the beginning of asking for an assessment or if you've started the statementing process.
Here's some information from the website about both:

Information about statutory assessment:
http://www.autism.org.uk/living-with-autism/education/primary-and-secondary-school/extra-help-for-your-child-in-school/extra-help-in-school-england-and-wales/statutory-assessment-england-wales.aspx

Info about statementing:
http://www.autism.org.uk/en-gb/living-with-autism/education/primary-and-secondary-school/extra-help-for-your-child-in-school/extra-help-in-school-england-and-wales/statements-of-special-educational-needs-england-wales.aspx

That is all relevant to England and Wales, so if you're in Scotland let us know.

You might also want to try the Education Rights Service. There's more information about that here:
www.autism.org.uk/educationrights
They'll be able to advise you about your particular situation if you'd like some extra information.

I hope that's helpful.
Good luck.
