Transitioning child from special needs nursery to mainstream school ASD unit

joshuasmammy

Hi everyone,

Our son was diagnosed with ASD 2 weeks ago and will be moving to an ASD unit in a mainstream school in September.

We're just wondering how other parents who have had a similar move have found the transition, how they managed the transition with their child, what the school did to help the transition, and how their child coped with it?

Our son doesnt like new clothes, so getting him to wear a school uniform will be fun!

Any advice or experiences that can be passed on would be great!

Thanks!

  • hi there:)

    thanks for for the advice its just amazing to get all these great tips because no one in my family or friends have a child with autism so its very difficult to explain to people how anxious i feel about josh ans his fears !! so it is great to share these worries with parents and people who understand autism:)!!

    Im feeling so much more positive after reading your posts and knowing that from your experience it can all work out fantastic for josh:)!! thats great advice yes i could do tortillas for they look like panckes maybe some cheese or chicken:)he likes yogarts too,the lunchbox with compartments sounds a brilliant solution for keeping his food all in order as josh is very fussy about food touching other food! 

    im going to buy alot of different fun healthy snacks over the summer to see which he likes the best:)

    thanks again for all your advice feeling positive about the move:)hugs erinn
