This week we would like to share helpful resources for our carers including our ‘Factsheet for Fathers’ – https://tinyurl.com/p9x3wr8m This helpful leaflet will give information for fathers whose child has received an autism diagnosis.
We also have a number of other factsheets on different topics on our website: https://www.autismni.org/factsheets
If you think your child is displaying signs of autism, there is a process you can follow to get a diagnosis.
A diagnosis means you can access more specialised support for you and your child.
TODAY IS OUR DAY

Supporting the social, emotional and mental health needs of students with autism as they return to school
“Remember that every student with autism is different, and so taking an individual approach to understanding and supporting their social, emotional and mental health needs in school is key.”
To mark the start of #AutismAwarenessWeek, Place2Be’s Julia Clements reflects on the impact of the pandemic on children with autism, and the ways in which we can support them as they return to school.
