Starting secondary school is a big change. Many autistic children may find it challenging to deal with a new environment and changing routines. During this information session we will discuss the following:

• Visiting the school with your child before they start.
• How to share information about your child and their needs with the school’s special needs co-ordinator (SENCO)
• Considering phased entry, where your child only attends school for a limited number of hours to start with.
• Practising the journey to school with your child.

The session will be facilitated by Amy Phipps. Amy is an experienced autism trainer who has Dyscalculia delivers information sessions and autism courses. Amy is mum to an autistic child and has worked in the field of autism for 20 years.

This session is free. It is for parents and carers of autistic children (no diagnosis required) living in South West England you must be registered in advance .

This is an online information session and wil be held using Zoom.
