Parents and carers of neurodivergent autistic and ADHD teenagers can get free advice about Preparing for Adulthood at a workshop taking place at the start of July.
The online workshop from the NHS-funded Berkshire West Autism & ADHD Support Service on Wednesday, July 1, from 10am to 11.30am, will help them to:
- Think about individual strengths and challenges, plus what is important to and for their young person and tips about how to discuss this with them.
- Identify individual things for parents/carers and young people to focus on from a checklist of suggestions.
- Make a plan with their young person about what they want to work on first and next.
- Look at ideas to help their young person plan what to do and who can help.
- Find out about other local organisations that can advise and help parents, carers and teenagers at this key stage in young people’s lives.
The workshop, developed by our family support team, will include plenty of time for discussion and to ask questions.
Please note that the Preparing for Adulthood workshop is only open to parents/carers of young people aged 13 to 18 who have an autism and/or ADHD diagnosis or who are thought to be autistic or have ADHD and are registered as a patient with a GP surgery in the Berkshire West NHS area (the Reading, Wokingham and West Berkshire council areas).
If you have any questions about this workshop or would like to register an interest in attending, please email contact@autismberkshire.org.uk or call 01189 594 594
