A visit to the Autism Open Day

Our Centre Manager, Sara Thomassen, attended an Autism Open Day a few weeks ago. It was very worthwhile to attend as autism and dyslexia frequently co-occur. 

 

The Autism Group held an open day at Desborough College a few weeks ago. I was asked to have a stall so that I could talk to families about dyslexia. It was a very successful morning, with about 40 families visiting. There were representatives from many other charities, agencies and schools that might be of support to a family with a child on the autistic spectrum. I met a lot of people and was able to provide information about parents courses, assessments and support. It was a wonderful morning and I am glad that I went.
