Autistic Spectrum Disorder
"People with autism have said that the world, to them, is a mass of people, places and events which they struggle to make sense of, and which can cause them considerable anxiety. In particular, understanding and relating to other people, and taking part in everyday family and social life may be harder for them. Other people appear to know, intuitively, how to communicate and interact with each other, and some people with autism may wonder why they are 'different'. " The National Autistic Society
From in-depth knowledge and experience of Autistic Spectrum Disorder we can advise and provide learning on impacts on the child, his/her family and nursery/school staff. There are many practical strategies we use to help professionals working with children to develop social communication skills and deal with unwanted behaviours.
We also have a parenting support programme Cygnet., for the parents and carers of children and young people aged 7 - 18 years old diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder.
