Cognus’ Autism Service is an education support service focusing on supporting pupils with social communication difficulties or a diagnosis of autism to access education. We work with education settings including early years, primary and secondary schools and Post-16 settings.
Cognus’ Autism Service is a traded service, meaning that settings, individuals or local authorities can buy in support. This can include:
- Advice for specific students/settings
- One-to-one work with pupils,
- Whole school/setting training
- Planning/policy support
- Workshops for parents
- Support/audits to become a more autism-friendly school
Traded work is open to settings outside of Sutton and other organisations, as well as to parents.
Autism Advice Sessions
All Sutton schools can sign up for a 121 advice session to talk about a young person and get some new ideas or strategies. Sessions are on a monthly basis and you will be allocated a 30 minute slot at the next available time. To request a slot, please email emma.windall@cognus.org.uk
