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 diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Condition from Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT).

The workshops run weekly and rotate between the following four topics every month:

– Autism and Well-being : This session discusses information around Autism, Mental Health and well-being delivered by Clinical Psychologists and Mental Health Practitioners.
– Autism and Sensory Differences : Delivered by Occupational Therapists in the team, this session offers information for parents around sensory behaviours and how to support this at home.
– Autism and Communication : This session provides information around speech and language and communication, delivered by Speech and Language Therapists.
– Understanding and Working with the Education System : This session is delivered by Educational Psychologists and provides all information related to SEN and School.

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.
