About

A support programme for parents and carers of children and young people, aged 5-18, who are autistic.

The core Cygnet programme is delivered over six 2.5 hour sessions which include:

Session 1: Introductory session
Session 2: An overview of autism with parent and carer experience
Session 3: Thinking & Sensory
Session 4: Social Interaction & Communication
Session 5: Understanding and supporting behaviour
Session 6: Analysing behaviour

Parents of autisitc children face the usual positives and challenges of parenting and quite a few more. Attending a Cygnet autism support programme gives parents and carers an opportunity to develop their understanding of autism and consider ways to support their child. It also provides the opportunity to meet other people in a similar postition and hear about their experiences in an informal but supportive atmosphere.

Who can attend Cygnet sessions?

Parents, carers or other family members who have responsibility for your child. Your child needs to be between the ages of 5-18 years and live in Surrey. They may have a diagnosis of autism or be waiting for one. Please book a place for each person attending.

Fees

We are charging £10 per family to attend the 6 week programme, if you are not in a financial position to pay for this please get in touch to discuss further.
