Summer playschemes for SEN children

Hi, does anyone know of any schemes running over the summer which could cope with my 12 year old son (he has severe learning difficulties, autism, epilepsy and challenging behaviour)?

Our local special needs playscheme, run by Take A Break, can no longer take him as they will not use physical intervention when he has a meltdown.

He has been out of education since January, and we've managed to get him a residential school placement from September, but in the meantime it's almost impossible to find activities he can access safely. Our Social Services are useless and have come up with nothing helpful at all. We are in the Midlands but prepared to travel anywhere in the UK to get some specialist help over the summer.

All suggestions welcome - we are desperate.

Have you asked Young Epilepsy? They used to do respite in the school holidays for children. I don't know if they still do, but you can ask?
