Katster Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hi everyone, I am new to this site so apologies if this has already been answered. We are a family of 4, both mine and my husband's professionals are on the skilled migrant list. We have a 16 year old who was diagnosed with ASD and ADHD many years ago. He is bright, articulate and attends full time school, with a view to starting college this year after he has taken his GCSE's. from the research I have done, this may be a significant issue with us obtaining a visa...please could someone point me in the right direction. We have decided that we would like to start the medical process before anything else therefore if it is a 'no' at leats we know prior to starting everything else. Any help would be amazing as this process is all a bit daunting especially when this has been a dream of ours. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Talk to one of the agents specialising in medical conditions - George Lombard or Peter Bollard are the two usually mentioned but I believe there may now be some others who have medical specialists in their team. If you're getting updated psycho educational assessments that's a good start - cognitive, adaptive behaviors, skill levels etc along with current iep. Usual situation is that if he's getting additional support in school that will impact negatively. Catch 22 is that if he gets a visa he's unlikely to get any disability support in education. If he's independent in mainstream with no additional support he should be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
