The course will be facilitated by Becky Loveless and Sam Burkin who provide our family support work.
There will also be input from guest speakers, including a young adult on the autism spectrum.
The course will be centred around the needs of the family, and conducted in a warm and friendly manner in which we may share both our wonderful and difficult experiences of the autism spectrum.
Participants of this course MUST be:
- Parent/carers of children who are diagnosed on the autism spectrum.
- Parent/carers who are experiencing challenging behaviour.
- Parent/carers who have fully completed a post diagnostic course, or have a good understanding of autism. Please contact us if you wish to clarify this.

- We aim to run this course twice a year, offering venues across Oxfordshire.
