The Plymouth Branch of the National Autistic Society runs a Parent /Carer
Support Group in association with the Communication Interaction Team
(CIT) this is open to all and led by a variety of speakers from CIT and other agencies. We are delighted to have a new and enthusiastic committee, and hope to support and inform parents/carers of people with Autistic Spectrum
Condition (ASC), and people with ASC. We will endeavour to develop further services, and to work with others in Plymouth to highlight needs of people with ASC in Plymouth.
Meetings will be on Friday mornings usually once a month on the second
Friday term time only. Meetings will begin slightly early this coming year from
10.30am.
All sessions begin with coffee at 10.30am and finish by 12.30pm.
The VENUE for the meetings is about to be arranged for May- July (due to the
Parent Partnership moving from the Old Treasury Building), PLEASE KEEP
CHECKING THIS WEBSITE FOR UPDATES ON VENUE.
