Hi - does anybody in the group have experience with an Aspie/ASD girl at the Red Balloon, particularly the Harrow centre?
DD has been home ed for last 3 years and mental health has improved massively after some pretty awful school refusal/anxiety. We're tentatively looking into secondary settings (with an EHCP). Local state comps have said they can't meet needs - Red Balloon and a handful of private secondaries are also offering to support if we can get funding from our LA. DD is pretty sure she doesn't want a specialist school.
We're going back to Red Balloon for a 2nd visit after lockdown. We thought it felt warm, slightly chaotic, humble, flexible, therapeutic and 'real' compared to the glossy, manicured facilities of the private schools.
Would love to hear any of your experiences - especially of spectrum girls - at Red Balloon
Thanks very much x
