The EarlyBird Parent Programme supports parents and carers of pre-school aged children (under five years) with a diagnosis of autism. In Wokingham, we are also able to offer this programme to parents whose child is on the pathway for an autism assessment.

The programme is held termly and aims to support families to:

*Understand autism and how children experience the world around them.

*Develop interactions and communication with their child.

*Understand their child's behaviour.

Attending the programme can be a source of support by meeting with other parents/carers and hearing about services and activities in the Wokingham area.
