Home Visiting Service

This free service offers support, information and advice in an informal setting to parents and carers. We can visit you:

Our trained advisers are all parents of children and young people on the autism spectrum.

An initial home visit will normally take 90 minutes. After that there will be a follow-up telephone call.
