Early Days Workshops

Marymead Autism Centre has registered Early Days facilitators to run Early Days workshops. 

Early Days is a series of FREE workshops for parents/carers and other family members of children under 7 years of age recently diagnosed as on the autism spectrum. They are also suitable for parents who feel their child may be on the spectrum but have not received a formal diagnosis.
