Overview

ATLAS is a series of information sessions for parents/carers of children who have recently been diagnosed with autism.

Parents of children without an official diagnosis are also invited to attend if they would like to find out more whilst they wait for an assessment.

ATLAS is delivered jointly across health, education, and the voluntary sector, and aims to support parents with their understanding of what their child’s diagnosis means as well as to give them some strategies to support their child’s communication and sensory differences in daily routines, and their management of their child’s behaviour at home.

You will meet parents of autistic children who will tell you about the wealth of support available to parents across the Enfield community.

Parents are asked to attend all 5 sessions:-

• Session 1: Understanding Autism
• Session 2: Communication
• Session 3: Sensory Processing
• Session 4: Information Processing
• Session 5: Community Resources (held on Thursday)

Duration

5 weekly sessions – every half term.

Delivery

Sessions are delivered online via Microsoft Teams; 10am -11.30am on Wednesdays.
