Summer schools for children with learning delays

Does anyone know if there is such a thing in the UK?
Apparently in the US there are all sorts. We live abroad and I would like to take DS to England for the summer.

In my ideal world, I would love to find a summer school that has lots of play but also "language based activities" and other things that kids with learning delays need.

Any ideas???

There are lots of holiday schemes here, either run by Local Authorities or charities. I haven't seen one that does "work" on communication but they would certainly use visual strategies and PECs/Makaton/Singalong. They might, for instance, do a music or art project or workshop and use communication strategies, but built into play/fun activities. Personally I've never wanted DS to "work" at a scheme, I think he'd get confused. Of course, what you can get and the quality varies.

Thanks Davros.
Since I don't live in the UK currently I wonder if I woudl qualify. Do you know how I can find out? I have googled but all I find are summer camps and nothing about children with delays.
