It is being presented by the National Autistic Society (NAS) and is mainly for those whose children have been diagnosed with autism in the last 18 months.

The programme called Help! will give an introduction to autism and look at positive ways to address issues that families face.

The programme, aimed at children aged from five to 11, is on May 14, 21 and 28 and will take place from 9.30am to 2.45pm at the Saxon Hall, Hoarwithy Road, Putson.

The sessions are free but must be booked through Lisa Smith on 01179 748438 or lisa.smith@ nas.org.uk.
