Toddler Groups

This is a FREE service for parents/carers of children aged 0-5 years old with special needs.

This group is intended to bring support advice and information on other services available at a time of great need. Trained autism practitioners will deliver sessions that aim to:

• Provide a safe place where parents can spend time with other parents who are in similar situation. 
• Provide information, advice and signposting in relation to parents and their child’s needs.
• Provide a space where children are able to have fun, engaging in activities which are meaningfull and positive.
