About: This is a pilot course offering information for parents on how to support their son or daughter with an ASC into higher education. The workshop will cover what support your young person can expect to receive at University and what to do to ensure they get the right support in place. We'll also be looking at the expectations of the University, and how to help prepare your young person for the change. The workshop will be delivered by two of our consultants who have supported students in Higher Educational settings across London and the South East for a number of years.
