Understanding Autism

Please note your child does not need a formal diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Condition to attend this workshop.

This online workshop will help parents and carers to learn more about your child's suspected/confirmed diagnosis and how Autism and social communication difficulties may impact upon them in the home, school and wider community. We will look at the autism profile, sensory sensitivities and helpful strategies for supporting your child.

You will leave with a basic toolkit of strategies that enable positive behaviour, successful relationships and reaching potential in and out of school and will be signposted to local, national and international resources available to children, young people and their families.

Delivered via Zoom by parent-carer Denise Snook, a SEND and SEMH Consultant, specialising in social and emotional mental health in children and young people.

Please note this workshop is funded by Reaching Families for parents and carers of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities in West Sussex only. It is not suitable for professionals.
