Understanding the Diagnosis: Autism
Free Webinar Series for Parents and Carers
Our Understanding the Diagnosis – Autism webinar course is designed to support parents and carers of children and young people who are awaiting an assessment for Austism
Each of the seven sessions offers valuable insights and practical strategies — and you’re welcome to attend any that feel most relevant to your family’s needs.
Getting Started
There’s no cost to attend, but all participants do need to attend introductory sessions in order to be able to access the later sessions. This first session is tailored to your child’s stage in the diagnostic journey, and helps ensure you receive the most relevant and useful information.
Please note:
After attending the pre-diagnosis introductory session, you’ll receive a link to register for the remaining six topic-based webinars.
What to Expect
The course has been thoughtfully structured to build week by week. Each session layers key information, practical advice, and strategies to help deepen your understanding and support your child or young person to thrive.
You’ll benefit from the professional expertise and lived experience of our team — bringing both knowledge and empathy to every session.
Whether you attend one session or all seven, you’ll find support, insight, and connection.
