Some children and young people with autism may need additional support as they transition (or move) from one setting to another. A range of help is available to support you and your child or young person to prepare for a change.
Our work listed below may be accessed by parents at time of transitions when stresses/behaviours become more problematic due to the forthcoming changes.
Our Birmingham helpline is accessible to all across the West Midlands.
If your child is in nursery the first point of contact around any difficulties should be the nursery's named SENCO, who would help you liaise with the school SENCO.
The SENCO would have a discussion with any parent of a child on the school roll around concerns.
Through your child's school reception.
