Introduction to Autism (i-2-A)

An introductory course for parents, carers and family members of children who have been recently diagnosed with autism

Our flagship course, run over 6 sessions, Introduction to Autism can be run for parents and professionals

Introduction to Autism is a course that we have developed with parents over a number of years, improving and refining it as we've gone along. The course is for parents, carers and family members of a child who has been recently diagnosed with autism. It offers an opportunity to gain knowledge and insight into the condition, learn about its various characteristics and get to meet other parents who are at the same point in their journey. It covers a range of difficulties faced by children who have autism, including communication, rigidity of thought, social interaction and sensory differences.

i-2-A aims to help you see the world through your child's eyes and this, in turn, opens up a range of possibilities for helping you manage and support your child in the most positive way you can. The course covers:

  • Communication
  • Rigidity of Thought
  • Social Interaction 
  • Sensory Differences

i-2-A will help you to see the world from an autism perspective which will help you to manage and support your child in a positive way.
