Does anyone know of any private specialist schools in London for children with ASD?

whitebutterfly

Hi everyone

I'm new to this forum. I am in the process of applying for an EHCP for my son with ASD and related conditions. Without an EHCP I'm having great difficulty in applying to specialist schools. My son is academically able and will start secondary (year 7) next September. Any suggestions on private specialist schools in London and south east will be appreciated.  I'm ok with south east and greater London.

Thanks so much!

HI and welcome,

It maybe very difficult to get him into a special needs school without the EHCP. Have you thought of main strem school with extra help and support? I know some schools have a special needs department, for mainstream.

In the meantime i'll add some links that maybe helpful.
