Join us for an online webinar introducing the range of support, resources and opportunities available through the Stockport Neurodevelopmental (ND) Hub.

The ND Hub has been developed to provide a needs-led offer for children and young people with neurodevelopmental differences, including autism and ADHD, whether they have a diagnosis or are awaiting assessment

https://padlet.com/autismprogrammestockport/stockport-nd-hub-offer-1s5foqizsss432y7

During the session, we will guide parents and carers through the ND Hub Padlet and highlight the many resources available, including:
* Autism Central peer support, education sessions and resources
* Sensory Toolkits and sensory workshops
* Young Person Neurodevelopmental (YP NP) Tools
* Parent and carer support groups
* Information and advice sessions
* Training and workshops on topics such as anxiety, sleep, sensory processing and distressed behaviour
* Links to local and national support services, community groups and SEND information.

The webinar is designed to help families understand what support is available, how to access it and which resources may be most relevant to their child and family. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions about the services and resources discussed.

Please note: This is an information webinar rather than a drop-in session. The focus will be on exploring the ND Hub offer and supporting families to navigate available resources, rather than discussing individual children's needs

Who is it for?
Parents and carers of children and young people with neurodevelopmental needs, including autism and ADHD.

IT’S HERE!! The very first SEND Dads meet up! Stick it in your diaries.

We will meet at Bobby and my FAVOURITE cafe. are absolutely amazing with Bobby and he loves a good toasted tcake and an apple juice from them so I thought it’s only fitting that the first SEND dads meet up begins here.

From there we will then go on a walk and talk around the gorgeous poynton pool. The walk will be around 5k. I thought a walk as the first activity would be a good way to kick things off and get everyone to meet each other properly.

After the walk we will head back into poynton and if anyone wants to stick around we could go for a pint.

Sound good? If you’re interested DM me and also join the WhatsApp community. The link for this is in the bio. Just click that and it’ll take you to the WhatsApp page.

So excited for this! 🫶
