Hosted by the Centre for Autism Wellbeing Hub at the University of Reading in partnership with Parenting Special Children, these relaxed monthly meet-ups offer parents and carers of autistic children a welcoming space to connect, share experiences, and gain valuable insights.
Each session begins with a brief talk from a member of the Wellbeing Hub team on an autism-related topic, followed by informal discussions where families can exchange knowledge and expertise. Refreshments will be available.
Spaces are limited to allow for meaningful conversations and discussion, so we encourage you to book early to secure your spot.
More information including how to find us will be sent to attendees on booking. Please email us if we can offer any assistance: cfaevents@reading.ac.uk.
