Autism and learning disabilities support
If your child has a diagnosis of autism or a learning disability and has previously been referred to our team through the pathway, parents and carers can opt in for support at any point up to their 19th birthday by calling 01925 946 773.
You will not be contacted automatically, so it’s important to get in touch using the number above if you feel you need our support.
We commonly help with areas such as sleep, behaviour, emotional regulation, and understanding autism. Depending on what’s most appropriate, we can work directly with the child or young person, with their family, or with both.
We can also liaise with other professionals involved in your child’s care – including education, social care, and other agencies — to ensure support is joined up and consistent.
