Free courses for parents and carers of children with autism

Back to News ListPreviousNext

The National Autistic Society (NAS) Surrey Branch will be hosting two-day 'Cygnet' courses for parents of children with autism (aged from five to 18 years old). The course will help participants to gain a better understanding of autistic spectrum conditions. They will also learn about practical strategies to use with children and find out about some of the relevant resources available.

The two-day 'Cygnet' programmes will be held on the dates below.

  • Dorking on Wednesday 7 and Thursday 8 March.
  • Guildford on Tuesday 8 and Wednesday 9 May.

The two-day programmes are designed to

  • Increase the participant's understanding of autistic spectrum conditions.
  • Help parents / carers develop their knowledge of how a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world and what drives their behaviour.
  • Learn about practical strategies to use with children.
  • Find out about relevant Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) resources.
  • Help parents / carers meet with others to gain support and learn from each other.

This two-day course is FREE for families in Surrey to attend, although BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL. Please note, to reserve your place a £10 deposit per person is required, (this deposit will be returned on completion of both days of the course). 
To book your place, please email Sarah Mead at events@nassurreybranch.org with 'Cygnet' and your preferred location in the subject line.
