We are currently offering a range of virtual workshops via Zoom. See our calendar for dates and times.
Book in to one of our 90 minute virtual “TAG talks” aimed at giving parents a little insight into how autism might affect their young person – and some simple strategies to help support their needs. Sessions focus on specific topics. Time is allowed for an interactive Q & A session at the end.
