Early Years Autism Workshop

Support for parents and carers of children aged 0 - 5.

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 at home support strategies for under 5s, 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 first-hand from other parents and carers of autistic children.
