BECOME A MEMBER

The Social Communication Pathway (SCP) Post-Diagnostic Groups (PDG) are workshops that are offered to parents and carers of children or young people who have received a formal diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Condition from Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT).

The sessions are delivered in-person through a PowerPoint presentation, in addition to some small group work that provide opportunities for discussing examples.

The workshops rotate monthly between the following four topics:

Autism and Well-being : This is an introduction to autism, where we will consider what autism means to your child and family.
Communication Workshop : In this session, we will consider language and communication strategies to help us understand what behaviour your child may be communicating and how we can support them.
Sensory Workshop : This session focuses on sensory differences amongst different people and how sensory differences can present in autistic people.
Understanding and Working with the Education System : In this session, we look at what education support is available in Manchester to autistic children and their families.
