About this event

This course is suitable for parents/carers, family members and friends of girls or women with social communication difficulties, on the pathway or with a diagnosis of autism.

Autistic girls often demonstrate less traditionally obvious traits of autism or may mask their difficulties, and are therefore often misdiagnosed or diagnosed later than boys are.

Course aims:

  • To develop an understanding of how autism is diagnosed
  • To increase understanding of how autism may present differently in women and girls
  • To develop a practical toolkit that can be beneficial to your daughter at home and school

Professionals Mornings

An opportunity for professionals to explore strategies and approaches used at Grange Park School to support learning and social aspects of school life. We will also cover admissions criteria, a tour of the school and an opportunity to hear from our pupils. Grange Park School is a NAS Advanced Status Accredited School.

Support and advice from our specialist staff

Grange Park School has many highly experienced specialist staff, who can advise mainstream colleagues on all aspects of autism and classroom practice. This service is often accessed by school SENCOs, via the Local Inclusion Forum Team (LIFT).

Bespoke support for mainstream schools

We can shape a programme to support your school – please talk to us about what you need. The senior leaders in the school have vast experience in mainstream settings.

By invitation, we are currently conducting SEN reviews of mainstream schools to help develop their provision for young people with additional needs.
