EHCP-Residential College

[calmingdown]

Hi I m considering a residential college for my 17 dd. She was diagnosed of ASD 3 years ago while in a mental unit because of anxiety. I m beginning to feel that residential placement will give her a more structured environment than it can also she prepare into a more self reliant life.

I want to ask those who ve been though the system how it works. Can you apply a place for your dc in any Send college/s anywhere in the uk. I only know if you apply for a college that is within your county then you will only get a day placement.

How does it work? What is your experience like with your residential college or school? Is it worth?

Is EOTAS where states the needs of all the therapies and live independently stuff?

Any therapies and preparation for adulthood provision that is required should be in F regardless of the type of placement named in I.

EOTAS is Education Otherwise Than At School i.e. where the SEP in F (including any therapies and PfA) is delivered away from a school or college placement.

Thanks
