Autism

Early Bird Plus

The Early Bird Plus programme is a fantastic 10 week programme from the National Autistic Society that aims to support the parents of Primary School aged (4-9 years) children with Autism and those on the pathway.

Expertly delivered by staff from the Wolverhampton Outreach Service and Tettenhall Wood School, the programme supports parents in understanding their child's diagnosis, exploring how their child experiences Autism and in building a support network for now and the future.

Parents are encouraged to attend alongside professionals from their child's school, so that consistency can be established across both settings.

There is no charge for the Early Bird Plus Course.

Please note that places are allocated on a first come first served basis with a maximum of 6 families per programme
