The Role Of Friendship & Autism

The Role of Friendship with Autism 

Making friends or developing a social circle can present it’s challenges for children and young people with ASD. Every child is different and for some the importance of having friends might be a key element to their happiness, and for others the anxiety of being involved in that social position or as part of a group can be too much.

To offer support to families in this situation our most recent episode of SENsational focuses on the role of friendship and autism, and explores strategies around developing social environments that fit with individual interests and enjoyment.

Guiding us through this topic we are delighted to welcome to the podcast,  Justine Sims, Head Teacher at Pontville School and Gail Silcock, Speech and Language Therapist for Witherslack Group who both have a wealth of experience and knowledge in this area.

Thanks for joining us and we hope you enjoy listening!
