Cygnet Autism Training
From October 2024, we will be offering Cygnet Autism Support - a programme for carers of those living with Autism under the age of 18.
The Cygnet programme was developed by Barnardo’s with the support of parents and/or care givers, for
parents and care givers!
The course aims to create a supportive environment of carers who may be experiencing similar challenges, and to present information on autism that provides opportunities for you to consider and adapt and/or reinforce the way you support your child’s needs.
We ask that if you wish to undertake the course, you try to attend all sessions, are open to participating in activities, and remember confidentiality of those sharing within the groups. This will make the course more enjoyable and effective for all!
The courses will be running weekly for 6/7 consecutive weeks with our dedicated ASD Support Officer, with more dates and locations in 2025 to be announced:
Colne (September - October 2025):
Wednesdays 10.30am - 1.30pm
