Welcome to Discovering Rainbows. It is our aim to help families understand what is meant by the autistic spectrum. This applies to families who are awaiting a possible diagnosis or have just received a diagnosis. It is our experience that many families perceive that their family is very different to others and that no one understands their child, their battles and the challenges involved. At times it can all be very overwhelming. We hope that this six-week programme will give you more understanding, offer support and networking opportunities, in order to see there is light at the end of the tunnel. We hope that you will be able to see that as well as difficult times, there are good times to be had. In short, we hope you will discover rainbows! The six sessions will cover the areas:-
Week 1
Introductions, safeguarding, questionnaires. The history of autistic spectrum. What is meant by social interaction difficulty? How your child presents.
Week 2
