Parents and carers of young children with autism in the Wolverhampton area are being encouraged to find out more about a national programme designed to improve their understanding of the condition.
Tettenhall Wood School's Outreach Service for the Autism Spectrum is holding information events about EarlyBird Plus – a National Autistic Society support programme for parents and carers of children aged between four and eight, who have an autism spectrum condition.
The course focuses on understanding autism and offers advice and guidance on strategies – as well as support in building confidence to encourage interaction and communication and ideas on analysing and managing behaviour.
Tettenhall Wood School is Wolverhampton's designated special school for children with autism – and staff have developed specialist knowledge and skills in order to meet a complex range of needs.
The school’s Outreach Service offers support to mainstream and specialist schools across Wolverhampton, which work with pupils who have a diagnosis of autism, helping them overcome barriers to learning – and in doing so, build capacity for future success.
The Outreach Service also helps parents of children with an autism diagnosis by holding monthly support groups and regular parent workshops on a range of relevant topics.
EarlyBird Plus Information sessions are being held at the Regis Road school and are open to parents and carers – as well as professionals working with children with autism who are interested in taking part in EarlyBird Plus.
Sessions are being held on Wednesday, 28 June and Thursday, 29 June – for information email enquiries@tettenhallwoodschool.org.uk.
