Families Together is a friendly, practical 6-week programme for autistic children and young people (or those awaiting assessment) and their parents/carers. Places are fully funded, so there’s no cost to attend.
Sessions for parents/carers and children/young people run at the same time, in the same venue, making it easier for families to attend together. You’ll be in a small, supportive group and leave with practical tools you can use at home and in school — with space to meet others who “get it”.
