Before you can begin choosing a school, you’ll need to know: what your child’s needs are what support they’ll need and what kind of environment they will be able to manage Your child should have a written school plan which sets out their needs clearly, along with the support they currently should have. If your child has an EHC plan, their needs and support will be set out in that too. Make a list for yourself of their main needs, alongside the support given for each. This will help you focus and means you shouldn’t miss anything important when you start looking at and visiting schools.
