Councillor Tom Bruce, Cabinet Member for Education and Children's Services at the council, said he was delighted that work at Lindon Bennett had started.
He said: "Too many parents and carers have to send their children to SEN schools outside the borough, which is both difficult for the families, and expensive.
"This is why Hounslow Council is delivering a schools expansion programme which will see 70 new places created at Lindon Bennett and Cedars special schools and will establish seven new SEN centres in mainstream schools, by 2015.
"We're determined to make sure every child in the borough receives the best education possible, which is why I am pleased to see work starting at Lindon Bennett."
