Auticulate Application Form

We meet in Reading, on Wednesdays during term-time, between 4:30pm-6:30pm. 

We cover a wide range of social, communication and life-skills through a programme of education, discussion, role play, peer mentoring and real life practice in a range of everyday experiences including using public transport, shopping, restaurants and cafes, and leisure activities.

Our group ensures our young people;

-Have positive social experiences in a safe environment.

-Grow in self-esteem and social confidence.

-Develop greater awareness and understanding of social situations and how to stay safe.

-Become increasingly independent, developing skills that will last them throughout life.

We are very grateful to the Lions Cub of Reading and The Good Exchange for supporting Auticulate.

I think the work you do has been amazing for my son. You share with him how society works, teach him to use his strengths and teach him strategies to navigate the world we live in without taking away what makes him him.
