Details are now available for more free Autism Berkshire training and advice workshops for parents and carers of children and teenagers with autism.
We will be running six Pre-Assessment Workshops for 2017-18 in Bracknell, for parents and carers living in the Bracknell Forest council area with children aged 5+ who are on the Berkshire CAMHS waiting list for an autism spectrum assessment.
Dates for pre-assessment workshops in other areas are being arranged.

We are also running a Supporting Teenagers with Autism workshop in Windsor on Wednesday, May 10, for parents and carers of children aged 11+ with Asperger syndrome and high-functioning autism, who attend a mainstream school.
It will be led by Jo Billington, a parenting practitioner and doctoral researcher at the Centre for Autism at the University of Reading.
Please note this workshop is not suitable for parents of teenagers with a new or recent diagnosis of an autism spectrum condition.
Free places are still available at a Positive Thinking for Parents workshop on Tuesday, May 9, and at a NAS Family Seminar on Understanding Autism in Reading on Wednesday, May 10.
Bookings can also be made now for further Positive Thinking and NAS Family Seminar courses – including sessions on Sesnory Needs and Managing Anger – taking place later this year.
