Toddler Groups

Providing valuable support for families at a time of great need, our toddler groups offer a free service for parents and carers of autistic preschool children who are pre, during or post diagnosis.

 

The groups provide a safe environment where parents can spend time with others who are in similar situations and where children up to five years old can have fun and express themselves in a stigma-free environment.

Trained autism practitioners lead the weekly groups and are on hand to provide information and advice based on the individual needs of each parent and child who attends.
