Initial Meeting/1:1 Session (45 minutes)

What does this entail?

• An opportunity to get to know your child and also have a discussion with you

  about the areas they need support in and if group sessions would be beneficial right now.

• A time for your child to explore our room and play with whatever interests them

  the most.

• Establishing what type of play your child likes, the toys they enjoy and

  what makes them happy – this will  help us to understand whether an existing

  group would suit your child or what group the may suit in the future.

• Ensuring your child has a happy and positive experience with us.

• Meeting children for this session gives us an idea of what group to place them in - ensuring they get the most out of their sessions should a space arise.

• We also provide advice and information around neurodivergent children as well as any supports and therapies available to your child you could avail of in the meantime.

• We help parents better understand a new diagnosis and families who are new to the world of neurodiversity. The internet can be a very negative space and we want parents to feel supported and to have a better understanding of what being autistic means.

  *This meeting does not guarantee a space in a group – but it will help us figure out if your child will suit a group should a space arise, or if we can form a new group in the future.
