DD 16 - ASD - how to get her ‘talking therapy’ ?

[Munichfam5]

My DD is struggling at college - she finds friendships really challenging , and always has. She has made a couple of friends , but there is a wider girls friendship group that always has bitching going on in it - that DD finds very over whelming.

Her college has not been great either , despite her having an EHCP - and so she will be moving college in September

Dd has asked me if i can get her someone to talk to that isn’t family about how she is feeling , please can anyone help with info on a good counselling / therapy service for girls with ASD ?

TIA

If DD has an EHCP therapies can be included in there.

In order to try to get therapies in F you could request an early review. However, the LA don’t have to agree to this, if that happens there is no right of appeal, so you would be left either waiting for the AR or requesting a reassessment of need which does come with the right of appeal if refused. Alternatively, do you still have the right of appeal following the EHCP being amended ready for DD moving college (you may do as the statutory deadline for finalising was 31st March)?
