These courses run locally and are designed for parents or carers of children and young people aged 8 to 16, with a diagnosis of ASC (Autistic Spectrum Condition). The course aims to improve participants’ confidence in managing the challenges faced when raising a child with ASC.
The Cygnet programme covers - What is autism?, communication, sensory issues, understanding and managing behaviour and siblings.
There is always a waiting list for this programme. When dates are announced for a new course, places are offered to those on the waiting list.
