  • The A Team: Awesome Autism/ADHD

A monthly group for autistic/ADHD girls and young women (age 8 to 18) to meet, socialise, have fun and try new things. A parent/carer support group runs alongside the sessions.

  • Auticulate

A monthly support group for young people (age 8 to 16) with a diagnosis of autism who attend mainstream schools. Both the Junior and Senior group are full and we are operating a waiting list.

  • Let’s Get Creative

A monthly group for adopted children which works to build social skills through different art forms. A parent/carer support group runs alongside the sessions.

  • Social Confidence Course

A six week course for young people in mainstream education, in school years 4 to 8 (year 9 may be considered), with a diagnosis of Autism/ADHD, or who are awaiting an assessment, registered with a GP practice in the West Berkshire NHS area (Reading, West Berkshire, Wokingham). The course will focus on independence, self-advocacy, friendships, self-esteem and knowing ourselves.
