This new evidence-based workshop aims to help the parents and carers of autistic and ADHD teenagers (aged 13 to 17) to prepare for and navigate the transition to adulthood and to support their young people with knowledge, skills and confidence.
Among the topics covered are thinking 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 areas to focus on from a checklist of suggestions and make a plan with their young person about what they want to work on first and next.
It is provided by the Berkshire West Autism & ADHD Support Service for the parents and carers of autistic and ADHD teenagers who live in the Berkshire West NHS area (Reading, Wokingham and West Berkshire) whether they have a diagnosis, are waiting for a Berkshire CAMHS assessment, or where autism is suspected, and who are in mainstream education or home-educated and do not have learning disabilities.
