    Hello, I feel there are not many books specially written for children with autism as such (maybe I am wrong) but they can read any book by themselves (if they already know reading) or with adult support. Children learning to read can read stories through picture cue cards or social stories, there are so many free ones and you can download them. I think even N&S e-resources have some. There are some story flash cards also, which you can buy from Amazon or any other online store. You have to combine a few cards to create your own story. It's fun to create those short stories with children. Thanks. Hope it will help.

    You can shortlist the schools based on their reviews and Ofsted reports. You can book some show arounds of the schools. Once you are visited then you can ask all your questions to the head teachers. It would be best if somehow you can speak with the existing parents and their experience with the school. once you have finalised the schools, you can share the names with your borough. Good luck with your search.

    Hello, Have you applied for a special school? or is he getting any extra help in the mainstream? You can ask for extra support from the school if it's written in his EHCP or if it's not written, you can ask from the council. There are many children with down syndrome who attend main stream school in UK. It all depends on the level of support they need. You can speak to the school or maybe create a system where you get all the detailed information about his school time. Good Luck!

    For comprehension skills; Summarizing a page/ paragraph or a line (it depends), Asking questions, Visualizing: Discussing pictures, Making connections: Making connections between different pieces of information helps child understand, Building vocabulary, and Reading aloud: Reading aloud can help improve comprehension, Rereading: Rereading can help build fluency. Talking about what you're reading: Talking about what you're reading can help improve comprehension.

    When toilet training a child with special needs, you can try these tips: Start early: Help your child get used to the bathroom and learn skills like sitting on a potty and washing their hands. Break down the task: Make the process easier by breaking it down into simple steps. Use rewards: Praise and reward your child for each step they learn. You can use descriptive praise, gestures, signs, or a favorite activity. Use picture cards: Picture cards can help your child understand what to do and remember each step. Schedule toileting: Take your child to the bathroom every five minutes for a five-minute sit. Gradually increase the time between sittings. Make it fun: Try to make going to the toilet fun and not scary. Teach words and signs: Teach words and signs for toilets and wee and poo. Consider professional help: If needed, you can get professional help.

    Hi! Normally nursery would refer your child to speech and language therapy. I have heard, there's a long waiting list. But still, it's one of the fastest ways. You can speak to your doctor too and he/she can refer to the speech and language therapist Also, you can go private too. It's fast but will cost lot of money. One of the issues which will come would be coordination with GP, nursery, and borough.
