Hi @londongirl37
Welcome to the community!
If you haven't already it may be worth speaking to your local authority inclusion team to see if there is any school transport or support they can offer? The website below may point you in the right direction on how to do that.

Also Scope has recently launched a brand new service called Navigate. Navigate provides a six week programme of online and telephone support to parents who have a child going through diagnosis or have a child who has recently been diagnosed with a disability (within 12 months). The aim is to provide parents with emotional and practical support that will help them build resilience as they start on their journey as a parent of a child with a disability or impairment.
I wondered if this may be of interest to you. Please visit https://www.scope.org.uk/family-services/navigate or call 0808 801 0510.
Hope this helps and all the best.
