Posting this for a friend of a friend so sorry if details are patchy. FOFs DS has ASD and was attending special school (SLD) until July when they relocated. New LEA say no special school place available for at least a term, possibly longer but are happy for him to attend local high school without support. This is totally out of the question obviously!
LEA have just agreed after a fight to provide 5hrs tutoring and 5 hrs TA support over 2 days per week. This arrangement isn't ideal and I wondered if this was actually legal?
I can understand it's difficult if all special school places are taken but surely he has a right to a proper education. There are plenty of spaces at a local independent special school but obviously the LEA don't want to pay for this.
Anybody got any advice on what to do next?
