About the programme

EarlyBird is a programme for parents and carers to support autistic children of under five years. It will help them to understand their child's autism; get themselves into their child's world, make contact, and find ways to develop interaction and communication; and develop understanding of their child’s behaviour and how to use structure to support them.

When delivering the programme you will support parents in the period between diagnosis and school placement, empowering and helping them facilitate their child's social communication and behaviour. It also helps parents to establish good practice in supporting their child at an early age.

Testimonials

The knowledge we have gained has given us more confidence to analyse problems and hopefully prevent them rather than lurching from one crisis to another.

Parent attendee on the EarlyBird programme -

As a parent I will be forever grateful for having the opportunity to go on EarlyBird when Daniel was very young, 18 years ago now, because these are the skills I learnt and have taken forward through Daniel's life growing up and he’s doing amazing now as an adult.
