Autism Awareness Week and Down's Syndrome Awareness Week- Family Link Coffee Morning
On Tuesday 10th April we were joined by Kathryn Mason from Supportive Parents at our Family Link Coffee Morning. Kathryn spoke about the support and services Supportive Parents offer and also informed parents/carers about The Parent Forum- a place where you can share concerns and struggles in your day to day lives regarding your young people. Your voice can help make change. For more information visit their website http://www.supportiveparents.org.uk
We also made available a selection of information from the Down Syndrome association website, including copies of their 'Down 2 Earth' magazine and 'Celebrating our Lives' guide which can both be found on their website. The Down 2 Earth magazine is written by people with Down’s Syndrome and is for people with Down’s Syndrome. https://www.downs-syndrome.org.uk/for-people-with-downs-syndrome/down-2-earth-magazine/
We also shared the National Autistic Society's quiz and picture round, facts about autism, party drinks recipes and origami! More information can be found on their website. http://www.autism.org.uk/
