anyone know of autistic schools!?

Hi everyone!

My name is Jane ive just joined the site. I am from Ireland but I am moving to London in June. I am a primary school teacher, this is my 4th year working. I just finished a course in ABA - Applied Behaviour Analysis - and since then have been fascinated with ASD and would love to work with children with ASD.  I was wondering does anyone know of any Autistic primary schools in London? I will be living in London West, Ealing, however I would be willing to move if it meant being close to an autistic school! Also I would love to do volunteer work 1 day a week if anybody had any ideas! Thanks a million,

Jane

Dear Jane

Welcome to the forum and really great that you have found us.

A really great way to find schools and other educational provisions in certain areas is to use the National Autistic Society's Signpost service.  It asks you to put in a few details about yourself (all anonymised though) and then will bring up a list of all the provisions within a certain area (the area you will have specified).  You can find it here:

http://signpost.autism.org.uk/

Of course, TreeHouse is also an ABA school - to find out more about us, do visit the rest of this site, especially the pages relating to the school:

I hope this helps!

Thanks,

Hi Jane

Welcome to the forum.   Hope your move from the Emerald Isle goes well and I am sure you will find somewhere great to work.   Sorry I cant help you there as I am up here in freezing cold Scotland!!!
