Help with Funding & the EHC Plan
Child Autism’s UK clinical staff can provide support and advice around Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan process.
About The EHC Plan
If your child has special needs, then an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan may be put in place.
The EHC Plan is a formal legal document which sets out:
- The needs of your child
- How these needs should be met
- A suitable education placement
The EHC Plan Process
The process of the EHC assessment should be outlined on your local authority website, usually in the education or special education section.
You can find more in-depth information about the process on the IPSEA and the Special Needs Jungle websites.
Child Autism UK clinical staff have in-depth training on how to be an expert witness and can write reports and present at EHC Plan tribunals.
In addition, Child Autism UK can provide advice on how to write parent submissions and general advice about the process in relation to obtaining funding for ABA.
Parents can also contact our office for lists of solicitors and educational psychologists who act as expert witnesses and are knowledgeable about ABA.
Our services for families
Our unique Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) programmes can help children build their skills and manage their own behaviour more effectively.
Autism is an incredibly prevalent condition and Child Autism UK is a truly wonderful charity who provide support and resources in a world where diagnosis is a long and challenging process, leaving families without the support and guidance they need in that period.
