Early Years Autism Workshop
Travelling the autism diagnosis pathway can be a long and lonely process, and for many that doesn’t change after receiving a diagnosis.
Our aim is to provide parents and carers with the opportunity to learn more about autism, gain insight into strategies to use at home, and meet other families with autistic children, all in a safe and supportive environment. Our workshop has been co created by professionals and parents with lived experience.
Whether your child has been diagnosed or not, you are welcome to take part and hear firsthand from other parents and carers of autistic children.
