Choosing a school for your autistic child should not be a struggle. You are usually offered a list of schools that professionals think would be suitable for your child. Not all Autistic children are suited to the same schools as they each have different needs.
You know your child and what they are capable of so you can always ask the schools you are interested in what their stance is on teaching people with Autism. Ask the following questions:
* Have they ever had anybody with Autism in their school before?
* Do they have special staff that can handle an autistic child?
* Can the school cater for the needs of your child?
* Does the school have a bullying policy?
* Will the child be offered a routine?
All children are different and the one’s who have Asperger’s disorder or High Functioning Autism, may well be able to study in a mainstream school. Many have in the past and they have done very well. Others with more serious problems, however, may need to go to a special school where the staff is better equipped at dealing with autistic children. There are plenty of options available to you and you really shouldn’t have a problem finding a school that is OK for your child.
