Logan and Eddie's parents say the loss of the centre will have a big impact on themParents of children with complex needs have said they are "devastated" over the closure of an autism school's respite centre in South Yorkshire.
She said it was shutting without any prior consultation or warning notice, which she described as "disgraceful".A spokesperson said financial pressures had resulted in the closure of Thurnscoe House, which is in the grounds of Robert Ogden School, and that of nearby children's home, Clayton Croft, which it had put up for sale.
Another parent, Pete Scott-Thompson, whose 16-year-old son, Eddie, attends the centre, said the closure would have "a massive impact" on children and their families. "He lives very much in the moment and he doesn't like change. He likes routine and structure. So I don't know what's gonna happen."The residential service is based at Robert Ogden School, which will continue to remain open for pupils"He's a well rounded young man. He's gone from a young boy that was really anxious, heavily relying on a lot of intervention, to being a lot more independent than what he was when he first started.
