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.

Borrow Bags and Boxes
Our Borrow Bags and Boxes Scheme is very popular with families. Families can borrow sensory toys and equipment from us, a sort of try before you buy! Check out our website link for further details – Borrow Bags & Boxes – The Toby Henderson Trust (ttht.co.uk).
School Consultation Service
We offer a FREE education consultation service to organisations in South Tyneside where we can arrange an appointment (1 hour) via Zoom or telephone to discuss an Autistic pupil (no diagnosis needed) and their needs. Autism Specialist Practitioners from The Toby Henderson Trust can provide advice and strategies which are tailored to that pupil, as we recognise that each child is different, requiring an individualised and unique approach.
