We offer a range of online and in person support courses for parents and carers pre and post diagnosis.
Our free, interactive courses will enable families to increase knowledge and understanding and learn practical skills to support our autistic community to reach their full potential.
Our support courses are co-created with the autistic community and delivered by our Training and Development team who have years of experience in delivering courses on autism. We cover important topics such as exploring the fundamentals of autism, sleep, anxiety, sensory, behaviours, growing up, and supporting your teen.
