Hi i have been home educating my son 5 (ASD)for a year,he is currently attending a child dev. unit 4 daYs a week and they have suggested he would benefit from attending an autistic unit even if it was only part time.I have been to look at the unit and today i rang the LEA (special ed) to ask about the process and was told my son would need to have a statement which would take 6 months and then we could apply for a place then a decision would be made,i am interested in anyone who has did this and how long did it take to get a place.I didnt realise what was involved and although i want to do whats best for my son im not sure if this is the way to go or if i should just continue with the HE.Any advice welcome.
