Term 4

Early Bird Plus Parent Course

The EarlyBird Plus programme addresses the needs of both home and school settings by training parents/carers together with a professional who is working regularly with their child. NAS EarlyBird Plus uses the established EarlyBird framework of teaching about autism before considering how to develop communication or manage behaviour. The programme consists of eight group sessions, interspersed with two home visit weeks which allow participants to individualise what they are learning. A follow up session is held six months after the programme.

Audience: Parents/Carers of children with a diagnosis of ASD up to the age of 8.
