They’re seeking an ASD specialist placement - what does this mean for him?

[Ricecakesaremyjam]

DS 5yrs diagnosed ASD, ADHD and social communication disorder. In mainstream reception class, been awful, school have agreed can’t meet need. He has been discussed at a LA panel meeting and Autism specialist school is being sought.
Im so anxious about what this exactly means - so a school specialising in educating autistic children? He is academically able, friendly and sociable, but very dependent on routine and massive social communication issues, becoming very disregulated in school, running about, starting to lash out (at staff, not at kids). I’m worried about the type of school he could be sent to. I’d really appreciate anyone with experience giving advice or words of wisdom please! Thankyou x

It’s exactly what you said. I would start having a look at the schools in your area.

None of them will allow me to look around unless they’ve been named and I can’t name anywhere without looking first 😂🫣

Well that’s not helpful. From their websites, have you been able to see if any of them might meet his needs?
