Therapies and Treatments for Autism
“What do I do next?” This is a question that has undoubtedly been asked by every parent of a child with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In many cases, it comes after the “What is autism?” and “How did it happen?“ Unfortunately, just as with the first two questions, the answer isn’t very satisfying. Although many treatments and therapies are proposed to help, few have been studied enough to know whether they really do (or don’t) work, and for which children. This reality is frustrating and confusing for families and professionals caring for children with ASD. To read more please click here.

IASS – Information and Advice Support Services
Advice and support service (IASS) for children and young
people with SEND (and their parents and carers) is now holding drop-in sessions at
the Central Library on Thursday evenings 5 to 7pm. The new drop-in time is aiming
to improve accessibility in the hope it will be useful for those who would like to
find out more about IASS, but prefer talking in person rather than via email or over
the phone.
