HELP! Name special schools

[adrianna22]

Ok.

Looking for specials schools for DS, that focus on speech, language and social communication skills, that specialises in autism- but don't really use the TEACCH approach.

Like the furze down school.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Day or boarding?

Sorry

DS is 4.

Anywhere around London, will do outside of London if need be.

Autism and language focused.

Day school

Meath is supposed to be good for speech, communication and language, it has a very good reputation, it is however not Autism specific.

Been to Meath- they do not take kids with autism unless it's Aspergers.

This website has a directory of special schools.

Blossom House? (SW London)

Been to Blossom house- but not too sure

zzzzz you mean for special schools? No, I didn't think to ask. Stupid me.

The Link in Croydon? Papillon House in Tadworth?

Have you seen Paray House in Feltham? Its SaL Special School, half children have DS and other half mixed dx. Not sure if they have a peer group though for 4 years old.

What about the Rise in West London? Its an ABA school with lots of emphasis on speech and social comms.
