The assessment team that diagnosed your child may have given you information on local support groups. If they have not, you have many options to find local support still.

You may wish to ask the school, particularly the SENDCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator). You can also visit the Local Offer, provided by your Local Authority, to find services in your area, or contact your local SENDIASS service.

Charities are also a great resource for finding condition specific support. For example, the National Autistic Society services directory is be a brilliant resource for finding support related to autism.
