As hinted within the “12 Days of Christmas” the festive season is supposed to be a time of fun, joy, families and surprises. Many will over indulge following the initial rush of Christmas spirit in the morning and then vegetate in front of the television watching James Bond. However, such a scenario is not conducive for children with certain additional needs, such as Autistic Spectrum Disorder. The chaos that ensues from changes in routine added to the growing anticipation can be a recipe for stress and behaviour problems for all involved. So what can be done to reduce some of these difficulties?

The aim of this workshop is to provide a new version of the 12 Days which will explore some of the many difficulties involved in the festive season. The workshop will explore the issues and provide some coping strategies to help all involved deal with what is supposed to be the happy time of the year.

What's the refund policy?

We know how plans can suddenly change, and how disappointing it can be if you aren't able to do something that you've been looking forward to for ages.
