Would be very grateful for any advice.
We are currently in the report gathering stage for an ehcp for ds (not been approved yet, that's the next stage!) An educational psychologist is due to get in touch with us to observe ds to make a report.
Dh and I are having great difficulty with regard to whether we should go for mainstream for ds or whether we should battle it out for a place at special school, keeping him at home for another year if necessary while the ehcp is finalised (assuming they agree to it).
Some of the specialists involved with ds say special school would be best and we have looked at several and have our heart set on two, either would be great. But I know the salt ds sees doesn't agree and feels he should be in mainstream- I'm not sure how much weight her report would carry anyway but ...
Does anyone know if we do put ds into mainstream how much support would be usual for young child with fairly severe autism? Lots of different answers all over the place I know but what happens at your school? Thank you.
