The early years are a pivotal developmental time, yet children are waiting years without any support, loosing their childhood to trauma and being misunderstood. Transforming autism provides early years in the home and online support so children and families get those years back, and go on to thrive.

Very little support exists for young autistic children, even after diagnosis parents report being given leaflets with no real tangible ideas how best to support their child. Waiting lists for specialist input continue to increase with families waiting years, often reaching school years before any action is taken, when solutions can be punitive such as exclusion (autistic children are over 50% more likely to be excluded from school). This is preventable with appropriate & timely support.
Transforming Autism provides evidence based programmes that offer real tangible developmental gains for both children and parents, with 3 core free programmes offered both in the home and online. Delivered by experienced early years Occupational therapists and child Psychotherapists, a child and families needs are assessed and a bespoke support programme agreed. After the programme, all caregivers can join our parent community, offering ongoing support through webinars, advice, and peer support.
