Autism in mainstream school

Hi there!

I was wondering if anyone can help me. We are currently living abroad in the Middle East. We are looking to go back to the UK with our high functioning autistic seven year old boy. Currently he has a full time shadow teacher and is attending a mainstream primary school. 

What is the process I will have to go through when going back to the UK? Also, can anyone tell me how long will it be until he can go back to school as I don't want him to be at home for too long as its important for him not to miss classes and get him back to social interactions? Do you know how long the process will take?

Many thanks,

Debs

    I would personally advise you to contact the local authority that covers the area you will be moving back to, they should be able to provide you with more information.
