Autism Outreach for Schools

Description

Autism Outreach for Schools is a service commissioned by Surrey County Council and delivered by staff based at some of Surrey's specialist provisions.

They support schools to meet the needs of their autistic and neuro-diverse pupils, or those undiagnosed but struggling in similar areas.

Autism Outreach promotes inclusive whole school practise (universal support), as well as supporting staff working with individual pupils (targeted support).

Referrals

Targeted referrals are made through the school that the child attends. School staff can refer pupils, with parental permission.

Parents and others who wish for the service to be provided for a child should approach the child's school and ask them to make the request. Parents cannot refer on their child's behalf and pupils cannot self-refer to this service.

After referral, there is usually a wait of around six weeks to access this service, although there may be some flexibility for urgent cases.

Primary School referrals

You can find the referral form for primary schools on the Freemantles Autism Outreach for Primary Schools website and available to download below:

Secondary School referrals

Referrals for secondary schools are made through Limpsfield Grange Autism Outreach for Secondary Schools team. Email debbiewalfordoutreach@limpsfield-grange.surrey.sch.uk for more information.
