NAS schools & local Autism services

B'lanna Torres

Hi Everyone

This is the first time I've posted here. Currently looking for a new placement for my 16 year old whose current special school can no longer meet her needs. Am I the only Parent who finds that their child has the 'wrong type' of Autism for NAS schools or indeed specialist services generally? The general response I seem to receive from autism 'specialist' services is that my daughter won't fit with the 'current' group, which means she will never access any NAS services as her Autism prevents as too challenging. I find it soo frustrating that I have a local NAS school but can't use it.

  • Thank you for the suggestions, there seem to be so many different websites with lists. Yes definately a gap in the market for a comprehensive register as well as suitable residential schools for 16-25yr olds. The ironic thing is that all the funding is in place & everyone is in agreement (LEA included)  that Residential is the best option, we just need a school that will take my daughter! If my local NAS school had agreed to taken my daughter it would have been a relatively simple process.
