Course summary
Parents and carers of children with autism face the usual positive and difficult challenges of parenting, as well as handling additional specific needs of their children. The Cygnet course is a programme to support parents and carers caring for children and young people, aged 5 to 18 years old. If you are caring for a child that is diagnosed with autism, is on the pathway to an autism diagnosis or is suspected of having autism, then this course is for you!
Aims
Attending a Cygnet autism support course gives parents and carers the opportunity to develop their understanding of autism and consider ways to support their child. It also provides the opportunity to meet other people in a similar situation and to hear about their experiences in an informal but supportive atmosphere.
