The Government wants schools to reopen to all pupils at the start of next month and we are delighted to be able to offer some tips to families about how to prepare after many children have been out of class since March.
Autism Berkshire has teamed up with local charities Parenting Special Children and The Autism Group and the East Berkshire and Berkshire West NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups to provide a list of ideas for parents and carers of autistic children and children with ADHD.
These include ideas on ways to help children through the summer holiday period and get them ready for the return to classes, including getting routines established ahead of the start of term.
