A question I get asked all the time is: What help can I actually ask my child’s school for if they have autism? If your child is in the process of being diagnosed or already has an autism diagnosis, you might be wondering what kind of support is available—and whether it will actually make a difference.
In this episode of Real Talk With Rhi, I’m breaking down practical ways you can ask your child’s school for help—from communication strategies to EHCPs and IDPs, sensory support, movement breaks, and more. Whether your child is masking all day and melting down at home or struggling with overwhelm in school, there are things you can request to make school life easier for them.
We’re covering:
✔️ How to open better communication with your child’s teacher
✔️ What an EHCP (England) and IDP (Wales) is and how to apply
✔️ Sensory accommodations like ear defenders, fidget toys, and wobble cushions
✔️ Creating non-verbal cues so your child can discreetly signal when they need help
✔️ Asking for movement breaks or access to Sensory Circuits
✔️ Helping your child with routine changes and transitions
✔️ How to approach the school in a way that gets results
💬 Have you requested support for your child at school? What has worked for you? Share your experiences in the comments—I’d love to hear from you!
