What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThis service is a pivotal service to St Helens children and young people and their families who have social communication difficulties i.e. autism.
The service provides open access support regardless of diagnosis, to both structured and ad hoc support which includes access to information, advice, guidance, social opportunities and learning through telephone contact, community network groups, structured programmes and workshops for parent/carers and young people, family activity days and training for professionals.
The service works very closely with the neurodevelopmental pathway co-ordinators so that families going through assessment can be proactively offered a call of support and potential access to their wider offer.
