Hello everyone!
Hopefully you’ve enjoyed a refreshing summer break and are ready for the new academic year.
The Autism Spectrum Team are making a few amendments to our working practises. We’ll keep you updates with any changes as and when they happen. We are
very excited to be able to tell you that we have appointed a lead teacher for Early Years within the team. Sarah Gates has been appointed to role and will be supported by Shelley Donnison and Sarah Jamieson. We have also appointed a new
teacher to the team: Lucy Stead joins us from Calderdale.
Thanks to the continuing support of our wonderful Hub schools, we will continue to run our Hub sessions on a regular basis throughout the city. Remember that you can talk to us about undiagnosed children who have communication and interaction difficulties
as the drop-ins as well as those children who are on the autism spectrum. We are
always happy to meet friends, old and new, at these sessions.
Please remember that you can ask advice about children whose social and interaction skills cause you concern even when they do not have a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder at the Hub sessions
We are very excited that we are now going to hold an Early Years drop-in session at Thackley Primary school. This is something that we have wanted to do for a long time so we are grateful to the staff of Thackley for offering to host this.
The Hubs run on an appointment basis. To make an appointment you can phone 01274 385833 or email:
autism@bradford.gov.uk
We look forward to seeing you.
