help! 2 is aimed at parents and carers who already have some basic understanding of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). (If you would like an introduction to ASD, read more about our help! programme.)
help! 2 seminars offer information and tips on subjects of most interest to parents of school age children, young people and adults. These subjects include:
- supporting the siblings of your child with an ASD
- managing anger in young people with Asperger syndrome
- meeting your child's sensory needs
- anti-bullying tips
- introduction to writing Social StoriesTM
- making visual supports
- adult life (for parents with an adult son or daughter).
Each seminar lasts for four hours and up to fifteen families can attend. Seminars include presentations, group discussions, DVD material and practical activities - plus a free parent information pack.
Seminars are free to parents and carers, but can be purchased by a local authority or NHS trust.
