My 4 year old child has just been diagnosed with Autism. Lots to cope with at the moment. Including schools.

he’s at mainstream school at the moment. But we are looking at special schools, because he is struggling to cope with the curriculum.

Here is an article that talks about getting educational support for your child and one that discusses talking to school about adjustments for your child.
Please do let us know how you get on.

It will help me get the right info for you ..
he will start year one in September.
How does he feel about his school? .. It may be helpful to keep a weekly diary of his feelings ..Then discuss options with the senco if he is very unhappy in his school there are options to move but in my experience this can take a long time and sometimes it's eiser to stay where he is settled and get the right support. obviously if they are very unhappy it's time to think of other plans.
If you let me know your local authority I can send you a link please DONT POST the schools name or any details just the area.
Thanks
we are North Yorkshire.
