The ASD Outreach service have a range of support and training for families with a child with an ASD diagnosis. Courses are run for families across the Borough and groups are put together, so families meet others with a child of a similar age to their own where possible.
The groups provide an opportunity to learn about ASD but also to meet other families and build support networks that can often be long lasting.
Families can attend immediately after they have got an ASD diagnosis or later on in their journey, and can self refer through the contact details below as long as they are already known to the service.

Early Bird
At the moment we are not running NAS Early Bird courses so that we can respond quickly to request for support and instead have developed our own 5 week course for families (see the drop-down above).
This new course has had very positive feedback from families who have attended.
