Thank you, I haven't come across that one - I will look it up

Catboo,
I own a small SEN company who assists families with children with a range of needs.
At the moment I have a few homeschoolers, some longer term, some overcoming a shorter term problem or another before returning to school- many on the spectrum.
I also work with many more children who attend school but need some extra care and attention outside of school hours including academic tuition, social skills and behavioural support.

I would be happy to discuss my experiences with families, what we suggest for social outlets, how we work with families and how we could possibly help you.

Please do give me a ring or drop me a message or email.

Good luck with your search.
I can see how a school search would be a bit unnerving for you. I am not a specialist so this may not be helpful, but results and even Ofsted grades, may not be as important as the response to a school's enquiries about how they could support your child.
Have you had any professional advice? If there is none, It could be that a Family Centre such as the one at Hillbrook School might be able to give a few pointers (They are next door to a nursery specialising in CLD )
Finton House has a reputation for being inclusive and there are state schools with special areas for social skills activities and who have a good understanding of autism spectrum.
Good luck. Let us know how you get on!

I would recommend contacting your local branch of Contact A Family, who will be able to advise you and perhaps put you in touch with other parents in a similar situation to you, if you would like that. The Wandsworth office is based at Siward Road, off Garratt Lane.

A friend of mine found this such a helpful service following their daughter’s diagnosis when the family felt isolated and somewhat in shock. It really helped the family to find a way forward and now some years later their daughter is at mainstream secondary school and is thriving. Every family is different but I thought you may find it encouraging to hear of a family who probably experienced some of the feelings that you are feeling now (without my being too presumptuous.)

My friend speaks very highly of the support she got from Charlotte from Contact a Family, who can be contacted on charlotte.amison@cafamily.org.uk , or check out their website cafamily.org.uk/wandsworth .
Good Luck

Thank you so much for this, it would indeed be so comforting to speak to another family and share experiences. I will get onto this straight away and I will post back later with updates!
Thanks again
