What happens at an online drop-in?
The You Are Not Alone drop-in is a friendly and safe space for parents and carers who have a child diagnosed (or suspected) with autism and PDA. In this space you can connect with other like-minded parents, learn about autism and PDA, support each other and ask any questions about your situation.
The You Are Not Alone Drop-ins take place every Monday from 10-11am and every Tuesday from 7.00pm - 8.30pm on Zoom.
In these sessions, we talk about all sorts of topics such as:
Helping your child regulate their emotions and feelings (meltdowns etc)
Understanding autism and PDA
Navigating school and EHCPs
Supporting your child with friendships
Understanding and managing challenging behaviour
Managing sensory needs
Developing a positive relationship with your child (family dynamics)
Exploring EOTAS or home education
Looking after your wellbeing and so much more
Here’s what parents have said:
'My husband Jamie was saying that in the last few sessions, he has learned so much more about autism and PDA than he has over the past year.' - Jo (parent)
'Thank you so much for the group this evening. I cann't tell you how grateful I feel and I really do feel less alone and more validated. My hope is back.' - Louise (parent)
‘Thank you so much for your support. I nearly chickened out in speaking but I’m glad I did. These sessions have been really helpful, and I don’t feel so alone.’ - Emma (parent)
‘Dear Erik and Sally, thank you for the recent sessions and resources. Connecting with parents who
share similar experiences has been an immense relief and has given me the hope I needed to
advocate for my children’s education’ (parent)
