How do I gain support if I have a question?
If you have a question about support for your child, first speak to the school SENCo or Inclusion Lead. They will provide you with information on the support the school is offering your child. They will signpost you to any further resources or things you can do at home.
Autism Service advice is available at monthly Autism Advice Sessions. (30 minute slot to gain ideas and strategies)
