"Someone to turn to..." a self-help family support program.

Supporting families with a newly diagnosed child...

Aspect's aim is to provide families, who have a newly diagnosed child with an autism spectrum disorder, with support from volunteer "older" families who have been trained to provide information and support alongside professional staff.

Because of their own experience as parents of children with autism the "older" parents will be able to empathise with the distress and confusion experienced by the "new" parents. They will be trained to provide emotional support as well as helping the families understand their child's disability, and access information on professional support and services.

Your donation will help us develop and implement this valuable service and provide for the recruitment and training of additional volunteers.
