Have you been in contact with Sheffield Parent Partnership? They should be able to sign post you and from September there will be a 'Local Offer' where you can get an online directory of services and groups in Sheffield becoming available. I would also advise contacting St. Mary's on Bramall Lane as they are running some sessions soon about how funding and education are changing - might be very useful as you won't have access to services usually provided in schools I should think.

Hi chow, I also have an 11 year old with daughter with Autism.

 

I am an active member in a local support group called Ray of Hope, we meet twice a month at the funzone soft play in Hillsborough, there are siblings there also so not all the children attending have special needs you can find full details on our website in the link below.

Ahhhhhh I am so sorry.....

 

 

I think its actually BETTER to home school these days (If you can afford to do it) -- They cant get the attention they need in a big school and they are trying to fill kids heads with crap nowadays..... HOME SCHOOLING IS THE ANSWER!!

 

Im sorry your daughter is having a hard time.. Thank you for sharing this with us,I hope you can find some good stuff for her...

 

Peace and love to you my friend!

Hi 

 

I am new to this site. I have been considering home education for some time . My son is due to start school in september, however he currently attends a Forest Nursery and I would love to be able to continue his learning in this way. I really dispise the idea of him being stuck in a class room all day and conditioned to a stale and outdated education system. I am a qualifed child and family practioner and have a few friends within education also, who would also like to find an alternative. 

 

Please can anyone share information on any current groups or ones starting in Septemeber?

Thank you
