DS is currently in y12, studying humanities A levels. He’d like to do either geography or history at degree level. He’s at an independent school and has ASD and dyspraxia.
He’d like to go to university, but I think he would really benefit from having a mini university experience to just see what it is like. He’s academically able, but gets lots of support at home to keep him on top of things, give him a calm environment, everything is done for him etc. I think the transition to university (he wants to move away) will be a big shift for him and could be overwhelming. I think he’d be better off at a campus university, which he takes on board, sort of. I just want to give him every chance to succeed, and I know that we will need to teach him a lot of life skills in the run up to him actually going.
Can anyone steer me towards summer resi courses at universities that he might be eligible for please? Even if only for a few nights. We’re not a low income family, and he isn’t at a state school, which rules many of them out.
Ive seen one at Bath, but the dates don’t work, unfortunately. Summer 2025 would be good, as it might help inform his university choices.
