Resources for Children/Young People, Parents/Carers

Unfortunately, due to the current situation with the Coronavirus (Covid-19) all coffee, training and face to face sessions have had to be postponed until further notice. We are, however, regularly updating our Local Offer pages especially for parents at this challenging time. We are endeavouring to be as creative as possible and to offer support in whatever way we can. We are pleased to announce the team is available for telephone consultations, to provide a listening supportive ear, sign posting to resources and anything else we can do to support our families and children at this time, we will try to be as creative as possible.

 

In particular we are trying to upload specific visuals/ tools parents have requested or may find useful such as sensory ideas, timetable symbols and anxiety tools.

 

If you know of any families/ parents of children you would like to sign post to us with a social com/ ASD profile during this time please do so by asking them to contact our social com email below in the first instance. If there is anything you would like us to add on to the page please contact us and will do our best to add it.

 

We know when parents come to our coffee sessions often it’s just the opportunity to talk and off load that helps, so it may be if all we can do is this right now it may make a little difference.
