An Autism Education Trust conference in Exeter aims to bring together council representatives, health professionals, adults and young people with autism and their parents and carers to share experiences and learn more about the trust.
Sean Murphy, from Socops, an Exeter group for high-functioning children with autistic spectrum disorders and their families, told thisisexeter: “Education is a real concern for many of the parents who attend Socops.
“Many feel there are gaps in provision for their children and are now accessing services outside the county to meet their child’s need.
“The work that the trust is doing is invaluable. We feel that something is being done to address the current and future difficulties that our children face.”
The event will take place at the Thistle Hotel, in Queen Street, Exeter, on Thursday, May 7, from 9am-3pm.
Places are free but limited and must be booked in advance. For details and to book tickets visit the Autism Education Trust site, call 0115 9113367 or email conference@nas.org.uk
