Event Description
Home Education Focus Group for Parents and Carers of Autistic Children
ASD Helping Hands, the Norfolk Autism Partnership, and Norfolk County Council’s Elective Home Education Team are hosting a focus group for parents and carers who home educate their autistic children (under 16).
We want to hear directly from you about the support and resources you need to help with home education. This is not about returning children to mainstream or traditional schools – it’s about understanding how we can best support you in your role as a home educator.
This session is linked to an action in the Norfolk All-Age Autism Strategy, where families told us it would be helpful if schools shared the resources they use, so parents and carers could use them too.
While the focus group takes place, ASD Helping Hands will run fun activities for your children in a separate area, so you can fully take part in the discussion.
