Autism Post Diagnosis Learning Programme

Receiving an autism (ASD) diagnosis for your child can evoke many different emotions. In some respects, you may feel relieved but equally overwhelmed and confused about what to do next.

Our Autism Post-Diagnosis Learning Programme has been developed to guide you through your journey. As well as learning about how autism is experienced by children and young people, you'll explore strategies on how you can support your child so they can achieve their full potential.

The sessions will cover a range of useful topics:

Understanding autism	Communication skills
Discussing a diagnosis	Promoting self-esteem
Autism and girls	Talking about health
Sensory processing differences	Building positive relationships
Unique thought processes & special interests	Educational settings: working together
Stress and anxiety	Managing transition
Understanding and supporting behaviour	Independence skills
