This session is aimed at parents/carers of SECONDARY school-aged children.

The information will be delivered through a PowerPoint presentation, in addition to some small group work which will provide opportunities for discussing examples.

We do encourage you to ask questions as these sessions are to enable you to gain knowledge about available support and resources.

This session will include:

  • We will consider language and communication strategies.
  • Understanding what behaviour your child/ young person may be communicating
  • How to promote language and communication development
  • Signposting to useful sources of help and resources

Biscuits, tea and coffee will be provided. However, lunch isn’t provided so please make sure to bring your own food for the lunch break.

Important Notes:

Booking is essential. This is a parent-only session so please do not bring children to the workshop.

As a post-diagnostic workshop, this session is 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).

This can be from any of the three Social Communication Pathway (SCP) teams – South Manchester (Carol Kendrick Centre), Central Manchester (The Powerhouse/ Winnicott Centre), and North Manchester (The Powerhouse/The Bridge).

Manchester Parent Carer Forum is a group of parents and carers of disabled children who work with Manchester Local Authorities, Education Settings, Health Providers and other providers to make sure the services they plan and deliver meet the needs of disabled children and young people (0-25 years), as well as their families, in Manchester.

We have a steering group of parent and carer volunteers who lead this work and listen to the views of other parents and carers in the local area to make sure they know what is important to them.
