Autism support

We have an autism support officer who works with parents, schools and other professionals to support pupils with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, or in the process of getting a diagnosis. 

They provide: 

• One-to-one advice for parents and schools 
• Coffee and chat sessions in schools and local parent groups  
• Training for families of children with diagnosed or undiagnosed autism 
• Support and training for schools, including catering staff  
• Resources for schools, parents and professionals. 

Referrals can be made via a school or professional. 

Alternatively, parents and carers can get in touch without a referral by contacting AdditionalLearningNeeds@torfaen.gov.uk
