ASD Information Evening

A collaboration between South Bucks Grammar Schools and the Autism Teaching Company

Do you have a son or daughter who is on the autistic spectrum? Do you wonder if your son or daughter could be on the autistic spectrum? Would you like an opportunity to;

• learn about getting a diagnosis • improve your understanding of the condition • meet other parents with children on the spectrum • share your experiences of parenting a child with ASD • discover useful strategies to manage behaviour • feel better able to support your child’s development

John Hampden , The Royal Grammar School, Wycombe High School, Sir William Borlase’s Grammar School and are collaborating to provide parents and carers with an opportunity to get together and to meet representatives from the Autism Teaching Company (AuTC).

The AuTC works with individuals, families and schools. Their teaching team are all experienced specialist teachers who have worked in schools and have a wealth of knowledge in the field of Autistic Spectrum Disorders. Further information about the company can be found at www.autismteachingcompany.org.uk

Parents and Carers are invited to attend an initial information evening on Monday October 3rd 7.15 – 8.15pm at John Hampden Grammar School. During the presentation representatives from the AuTC will introduce themselves and talk briefly about ASD and the services that they provide. At the end of the presentation parents and carers will be given an opportunity to ask questions, share contact details with the AuTC and decide on the format of any on-going support from the AuTC. E.g. a 6 week parenting skills course, monthly meetings, quarterly workshops. Any on-going support will be a private arrangement between parents and the AuTC.

If you are interested in attending please RSVP by September 26th to your child’s school using the appropriate email address below. Feel free to bring along members of the extended family; however, given the nature of this evening, no children please.
