Videos to support your neurodivergent child:

15 Films have been created as part of a wider programme of work to support families who are waiting for a diagnostic assessment for autism and/or ADHD. The films are designed to provide a resource for families early in their SEND journey, who want to understand how they can best support their neurodivergent child.

Autism Central 

Autism Central Hub offers guidance to families, carers and personal assistants of autistic people. All of their sessions are run by Peer Educators. These are parents or carers of autistic people, who are happy to share their knowledge and experience with you. They offer group and one-to-one sessions to help you and other parents and carers find the information and services available in your area. Hubs may also run events such as workshops, drop-in sessions, coffee mornings or virtual meet-ups.
