AS I AM – Family Support
AS I AM – Family Support
Our Child and Family Support Programme supports Autistic children, teenagers and families. It provides a safe and secure space where they can connect and share their interests and experiences, and where they can have their needs acknowledged. These spaces are relaxed, fun, and show our community that they should never be afraid to ask for adjustments to meet their needs!
