School

Hi

My husband maybe getting a transfer to work in Jubail.  I have a few questions if anyone can help regarding school and compounds in either Bahrain or Jubail.  Coming from Australia we would prefer to send him to a British school as the schooling is very similar to Australian standards.

I like change and have no problems with experiencing new things.  My problem is our son has High Functioning Autism.  He is very clever and good with change.  Just has a little repeative behaviour.  He is 5 (in a couple of days)and would start school here in Australia next year (school runs from Jan-Dec) in prep class. We still do Speech and Occupational Therapy, so I guess my question is; Are these theraphies available in these places?  And are the school equip for children with Autism?  I will be there to support like I have in the past 2 years with his Early Learning support program - ECDP (Early Childhood Development Program).

Also if anyone could tell us a little bit more about the compounds and what is there. How big are the compounds? What's available for Wife/Ladies to do?  Whats great about living there? What's not?  Access to Skype/internet/phone. What to bring?  Anything you feel is important that would be great.  Still  trying to make a decision of whether we will accompany my husband, which is really important for my son. 

Anything would be great.

Thanks in advance
Sue

Also can you bring pet over?
