CAMHS refusing an assesment until school document term

Hi there! Sorry you are having a hard time with you daughters diagnoses, I know this can be tough and take time! Here are some links that might help:

The following page contains a lot of helpful information about education for a child with an autism: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/education . This includes information regarding getting extra support for your child in their education setting. 

You can search for schools that cater for children with an autism spectrum disorder on our Autism Services Directory: https://www.autism.org.uk/directory 

There is aloso the Education Rights Service who provides information, support and advice on educational provision and entitlements. Please see the following link for further information: https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/help-and-support/education-advice-line 

If you need support with an appeal against a decision about a child or young person’s educational needs, you might want to contact our Educational Tribunal Support Helpline: https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/help-and-support/tribunal-support-line 

This other information may help with understanding your daughters meltdowns. There will generally be a reason for this and it is important to try and understand the trigger for the behaviour when developing strategies. The following link has information on behaviour and strategies: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/behaviour  

You might also like to take a look at The Challenging Behaviour Foundation website for further information and advice: https://www.challengingbehaviour.org.uk.  They also have an information and support service which you can contact by phone or email – details can be found here: https://www.challengingbehaviour.org.uk/for-family-carers/family-support-service/ 

I hope some of these will be useful for you,
