Autism advisory units

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on our problem..... Basically my son lives in one borough and goes to school in another and neither team have said they will go into his school to support him. Has anyone had this problem and what have you done? Please help....

  • Hi,

    Yes we have had this problem too but in a slightly different way. Our Health Authority was in one county, as we live close to a border and Education in another.

    I moved doctors surgery (Health Authority) to one further away from our house but was in the same county as the school (Education). Then all the professionals involved with the Autism team were from the same county and connected in various ways.????  As well as the budget for your case all coming from the same county.

    The problem was the SALT was (Health Authority) would not mix with the same team as school.

    I would suggest digging around and finding out how which borough works with whom.

    I hope this makes sense. Good Luck.

    Call me cynical but it's just a Postcode Lottery and all just about money.
