ASD Family Help: support, advice and activities for people with autism and learning disabilities
ASD Family Help is user led charity (non-profit). We offer support, advice & activities for autistic individuals or those with other learning disabilities; their parents, carers or professionals within Wokingham, West Berkshire & Pembrokeshire.
We have family liaison workers who can offer free advice, support and help with DLA/PIP/ESA forms.
We started life as a small support group in 2005, before becoming a charity in 2009 and now cover Wokingham, West Berkshire & Pembrokeshire!
We aim to help improve services for autistic children, young people and adults; their parents, carers & professionals, by raising awareness and acceptance of autism by providing:
- Support to parents/carers through regular drop in sessions
- Free advice and information through email, face-to-face or phone calls
- Social activities for children, young people & families (to include siblings & young carers where possible)
- Social activities for adults
- Training & workshops for parents/carers and professionals
- Life and relationships skills for teens
Some events are age specific and some must be booked in advance. Please see individual events for full details.
NB: For most child sessions we are unable to book new children onto a session, without them first attending a sign up session with a parent. This allows the child to meet some of our staff, see one of our venues and assess whether we are able to meet your child's needs.
For family or child/teen sessions, please contact Rachael@asdfamilyhelp.org
For adult support or parent/carer workshops, please contact Jayne@asdfamilyhelp.org
For DLA/PIP support appointments, please contact Naomi@asdfamilyhelp.org
