Useful resources

The coronavirus outbreak is having an impact on everybody’s life. The National Autistic Society have put together useful resources that autistic people and their families can use during this time of changes.

Professionals

We have a new way of referring - this initiative has been agreed collaboratively with the school SENCO service, Educational Psychology service, countywide Community Paediatric Service, Children’s Services Referral Management Centre (RMC) and CYP ADHD/ASD service.

We believe the best approach for referral into the service is for schools and parents to work together to complete the referral pack. 

Professionals working with families, children and young people in situations where this is not possible should contact us for advice (for example; if the child is not currently in school). 

From the 1st September 2019 we will only be accepting forms filled in via the word document online - please do not scan and upload.
