Main information

Service categories: Information, advice and advocacy

The National Autistic Society (NAS) EarlyBird and EarlyBird Plus programmes aim to support parents and carers of children between 2 and 10 years old who either already have, or are ‘on the road to’ a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder:

  • It is a 6 week programme involving up to eight families
  • It brings together parents and carers for daytime group training sessions once a week
  • School staff are invited (where applicable) to support parents and share strategies
  • It includes a 1:1 session with one of our facilitators at the end of the programme
  • Courses are hosted at different venues across Kingston and Richmond

The NAS EarlyBird programme works in partnership with parents to help them to:

  • understand their child’s autism spectrum disorder
  • develop their child’s communication skills
  • develop and apply practical strategies to manage their child’s behaviour
