Understanding Autism ‘in person’ workshop for families.
After listening to feedback from some families who shared that accessing online webinars is not something they could do and that ‘in person’ events are more personal and preferred. We have decided to deliver our online webinar on ‘understanding Autism’ as an ‘in person’ workshop at the Autism Hub on Wednesday 21st May 10am – 11.30am. Certificate of attendance will be issued.
Booking is required. For further details please see the poster attached.

Family Support
We provide tailored pre diagnostic, throughout diagnosis and post diagnosis family support sessions either Face-to-face at the Autism Hub, or via zoom calls, emailed correspondence, or telephone calls which ever works best for each family.
We send follow up emails after all support sessions which include an overview of the conversation held and attach resources and links, strategies, advice and recommendations and if necessary, we print and post relevant resources to families.
Most importantly we are here to listen…without judgement and offer a hug and cuppa if needed.

This week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week and we are learning all about Neurodiversity throughout school. Why not ask your child about their understanding of neurodiversity?
What is Neurodiversity Celebration Week?
Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences. It aims to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported by providing schools, universities, and organisations with the opportunity to recognise the many talents and advantages of being neurodivergent, while creating more inclusive and equitable cultures that celebrate differences and empower every individual.
