How do children get a place at a special school in North Lanarkshire?

What is the difference between a special school and a ASN unit?

A special school caters entirely for children with significant additional needs, with specialist staff and facilities. A ASN Unit (resourced provision) is a dedicated unit within a mainstream school — children spend part of their time in the unit and part in mainstream classes. School-level ASN-unit data is currently held for England only.
