Our Lighthouse Team is holding a programme covering different topics for parents and carers of children with or awaiting a diagnosis of autism or ADHD.
Parents and carers are encouraged to attend all sessions, however, if a session isn’t relevant to your family’s needs then you do not have to attend. The sessions are a mix of face to face and virtual and are free to attend.
Bookings for these sessions is essential, please email [email protected] or [email protected]
