County Durham Autistic support group is a parent run charity.
Development
has enabled us to arrange workshops and information days for parents and
professionals. This provides local access to those working in the field of
autism. We run three to four conferences a year which are always well attended. Affiliated
to Contact a Family we have access to information and support from the National
network. We can help local parents find the information and the support they
need in areas such as education. We work with Local Authorities promoting
awareness and improving services for people on the Autistic Spectrum. Support
group meetings are held monthly at Darlington and Stanley, children are welcome.
We also hold a monthly social night for parents to meet and chat. Our monthly
newsletter provides details and up to date information. Group
activities for autistic children, siblings and their families are organised
throughout the year.
