  • Educational Provision
    Hampshire Autism Voice Survey – Final Report Educational Provision A survey of 30 questions was circulated from 10.05.16 – 13.06.16 via Survey Monkey web link relating to educational provision for children aged up to 19. A total of 206 responses were received. Summary The majority of respondents were from Hampshire (88.8%). There were no responses received from the Isle of Wight local authority. Of the respondents from Hampshire, the majority were from the Eastleigh Borough, followed by Test Valley. We had good representation from all of the other unitary authorities in Hampshire. The majority of children are in the 7-11 years age bracket (49%), followed by the 12-15 years age bracket (28.2%). A large proportion of children are male (82%). The majority of respondents described their child’s condition at Autistic Spectrum Condition/Disorder (25.7%), followed by Asperger syndrome (24.3%). A large majority of children (187 out of 206) also have other conditions, the most common being anxiety (74.9%) followed by behavioural issues (42.2%). Some of the other conditions submitted by parents include sensory processing disorder and hypermobility. Exactly half of the children surveyed are considered to have a learning disability. Some parents commented that although they do not consider their child to have a learning disability, they are behind their peers at school. Just over half of the children surveyed are currently educated at a local authority mainstream school (52.4%), followed by non-autism specific specialist schools at 14.1%. 2.4% of children surveyed are educated at home.
