About the programme

Teen Life is our six-session programme for parents/carers of young autistic people aged 10 to 16 years. 
The aim of the Teen Life Programme is to bring parents together to share information, experiences and ideas in a structured way. Teen Life emphasises the importance of autistic perspectives, with a variety of videos and quotes used throughout the sessions.

When delivering the programme you will empower parents and supporting professionals to understand more about how autism is experienced by autistic teenagers. Topics covered include understanding autism in teenagers, women and girls, self-esteem, spending time with other people, stress and anxiety, behaviour, puberty, independence skills, education strategies and planning for the future. A Teen Life Programme Book will be provided for each family to accompany the programme.

Testimonials

What a course! I would strongly recommend any parent with a teenage child on the autism spectrum attend this programme.

Parent attendee on the Teen Life programme -

We have really enjoyed attending the course as a couple and meeting other parents of autistic children. It is interesting to discuss experiences and also share advice with other parents. We have learned a great deal, which we feel will keep us understanding our son better. Attending the course has also helped me in a professional capacity.
