Katie Price has decided to transfer her son Harvey to a residential college, according to a report.

Harvey, 18, suffers from partial blindness, Prader-Willi syndrome, autism, and learning and behavioral difficulties as a result of a rare genetic disorder.

Price said that he will be taught skills that will help him lead a more independent life and that he will “learn to be an adult.”

The couple have spent six months visiting colleges for children with autism and learning disabilities and hope Harvey can start at his best option, a college in Gloucestershire, later this year.

She told The Sun: “It breaks my heart. I don’t want him to think I’m getting rid of him.

“This is your chance to live an independent life, learn skills, and socialize with other people besides me.

“I’m trying to get him to get used to it not being there all the time. But he calls his iPad and says, ‘Mom, I need you,’ and I run to him.

“When he’s three hours away, it’ll break my heart because I won’t be able to get there because I have to juggle him with my other kids.”

Harvey is Price’s son with former footballer Dwight Yorke, but she has raised him alone for much of her life.
