Autism Outreach for Schools
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.
All referrals can be made through the referral section of the Autism Outreach site.
