Parent Support
Project
Our Parent Support Project, resourced
through the Parenting Fund, aims to assist families affected
by Asperger syndrome by working directly with parents. This will
mainly involve helping with issues affecting children with the
syndrome but could involve helping a parent with Asperger syndrome.
The work will be delivered through training workshops, discussion groups, home and office visits, telephone helpline and library resources.
The project is 'ring
fenced' to the District areas of North Norfolk, Great Yarmouth
and Norwich, but we will respond to all enquiries from all our
membership. We would be pleased to
receive referrals from other agencies.
If you would like to access this service or obtain more information
about the service please call the Asperger East Anglia office.
