Applying for school- Help!

Right then, you lovely lot, I need help as have been bombarded with 'school' info today. My health visitor (the one I nickname Voice Of Doom) collared me on the way out of SALT meeting (which went better than expected). All sounds hideously complicated applying for school. Apparently I have to put a 'mainstream' school down on the form when I really want the autistic unit attached to the SLD school? And I have to be referred by an ed psych? And if there isn't a place in the unit DD has to go in main part of the school? (from what I've heard, this will not be of benefit to DD). AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!
All sounds very complicated. Annual review coming up for statement too (hoping for another year of ABA but thinking they're going to try and push her into school in Sept). Any advice gratefully accepted...
On a positive note, DD charmed the new SALT by doing her sideways dance to a talking duck

Oh my, the plot really does thicken...
Well, I believe that J Mottram (my mate) is the youngest of 3 (two older brothers) and grew up in Leicester!!!!!
