Moving to UK with AS dd

[Irishjane]

Hello everyone,
I am thinking of moving to the UK in the next 18months. I have a fantastic job opertunity that would ease a lot of my financial burndens.
So I am looking for a bit of advise on schooling. DD1 is 6 (7 in August) she has dx of Aspergers, Dyspraxia, ADD, SPD and have assessment in March for Dyslexia. All private dx. Would still be waiting to be seen for the state provided. She is currently in 1st class here which is year 2 in the UK. The school she is in now is fantastic. She has a full time Special Needs Assistant and receives 5 hours per week resource.
I am a single parent with another dd (4). Their dad lives abroad so I get to help from him. I work 3 days a week but am struggling to make ends meet especially with the private OT and S&LT as well as the recommended afterschool activities.
If we move to the UK I will be able to provide what ever therapy she needs without working more.
While the school she is in now is fab, I worry about her constantly as I'm not sure if she will be able to stay in mainstream for secondary. She is very bright but very 'quirky' There is no provision here for an alternative secondary school.
Sorry for the long winded post. I'm interested to know what type of assistance she would receive in school, what are the services like? That type of thing. At the moment I'm looking at Warwickshire (my brother lives there but no kids so no help) or Bath/Bristol area.
Any advice would be grealy appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Irishjane - My dd is the same age as yours and has AS and possible Dyspraxia, she currently has no 1:1 provision but it would be put in place by the school is she needs it, she has just started a movement class (not sure what they call it at school) which is basicly to help her with her dyspraxic traits (problems with movement and low muscle tone). Like your dd my dd is very bright but quirky but i feel she will find school tougher as she gets older.

The best thing to do would be to get your dd a 'statement of educational needs' which would guaranty she would get the help she needs, schools also have funding or ways to access more funding to provide 1:1 help.

I also have another dd who will be starting in MS in september, she has ASD and will (fingers crossed) be getting full support from a 1:1 and will also get Speech therapy at school, i am trying to get dd2 statemented for september even though the school have told me they will give her 1:1.
