Shropshire's Autism Project Coordinator acts as a first contact for information for families of children (aged 0 - 18) diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The Coordinator can signpost you to helpful organisations and provide information about: autism services in Shropshire, autism information sessions, workshops and seminars, support groups, leisure activities/clubs, parenting programmes and more. If you would like to receive further information then please contact Rachael Jeavons and add your name to her mailing list. During the time of assessment and diagnosis of autism it can be difficult to know what questions to ask and where to go for answers. The Telford and Shropshire ASD Parent & Carer Information Pack is a useful starting point as an introduction to Autism. It also signposts parents/carers to both local and national support services.

Aimed at: Parent/carer of a child

Specialisms: Exclusively autism specific
