We support families who may be feeling overwhelmed, struggling to understand their child’s needs, or finding it difficult to navigate systems such as SEN support and EHCP processes.

Professionals may refer families where additional guidance and emotional support may help parents better support their child.

A referral may be appropriate where families may benefit from support with:

• Understanding their child’s autism and support needs
• Emotional support for parents experiencing stress or overwhelm
• Navigating SEN processes and EHCP plans
• Ongoing challenges affecting behaviour, routines, or school attendance
