This is a voluntary Project run by 2 Birmingham University students who are the Project Co-ordinators. With the help of a group of 20 volunteers, a weekly project is held in the Guild of Students . The aims are to provide a 2 hour 'play' session with the intent to promote social interaction and general behavioural development. The volunteers are CRB approved, child protection checked and enjoy working with autistic children from across the spectrum. If you are interested in volunteering with TAPP, please email studentgroups@guild.bham.ac.uk or contact the Project Co-ordinators.
