Family Autism Service

Spring North and Child Action Northwest are pioneering a project designed to provide comprehensive support to families and parents who have children diagnosed with autism and those going through the assessment process. The project, operating across East Lancashire and Blackburn with Darwen, offers a wide range of vital services to address the specific needs of these families.

The project’s primary objective is to offer support to parents, carers, and families who are navigating the challenges associated with having a child diagnosed with autism. Recognising the significance of early intervention, the project will focus on two key areas of support: education on autism and strategies to support parents.
The project addresses the difficulties that parents, carers, and families may encounter when dealing with challenging behaviours exhibited by children on the autism spectrum. Strategies and practical support is offered to help families work cohesively, improving both their overall well-being and the child’s behaviour. The project team work closely with the children and their parents or carers, providing wrap-around care to ensure the best possible outcomes for everyone involved.
