About the programme

We work with parents and carers of autistic children. Through the EarlyBird programme, parents and carers will learn more about autism, and discover new ways to support their child, following a diagnosis. 

Topics include:

  • improving communications and interactions with children under five

  • using structures to support their child in a range of settings and situations

  • developing basic play and social skills 

  • understanding and supporting their child’s behaviour.

An EarlyBird parent book will be provided to each family attending the sessions. 

Find out more about our family support programmes.

What is included?

  • An initial three-year licence to deliver the programme (with the option to renew).
  • Materials to deliver the programme.
  • Access to ongoing support from the EarlyBird team.

Course requirements

  • Be a team of at least two autism-experienced professionals.
  • Have experience of working with autistic children under five years.
  • Have experience of running workshops or training sessions with parents or professionals.

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.
