Having your child diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Condition can come as a shock to some parents. Whilst it may bring a sense of relief and provide reasons for some of their difficulties (e.g. challenging behaviours). It also takes time to process the information you've been given, which can feel overwhelming.

Speech and language therapy is Sarah’s passion and she has been privileged to have worked at senior level in professional bodies such as the Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Independent Practice and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists to champion best practice in this field. She has just returned from Abu Dhabi where she worked in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) to establish a multi-disciplinary therapy department in the first-ever school for children with Autism Spectrum Conditions in the United Arab Emirates.

Our team are here to support you as parents. Remember your child hasn't changed because of their diagnosis - but it will provide them with access to the support they require to thrive and reach their communication potential. You are never alone in this process, we are always here to support you, your child and your family.
