About Leeds Autism Family Support

---

Leeds Autism Family Support gives a 'voice' to children with limited or no functional speech by implementing alternative means of communication with the use of visual aids and picture communication systems.

Speech and Language waiting lists are lengthy, private Speech and Language is costly and sadly, not all children do develop speech. We believe providing children with a means to communicate their wants and needs immediately should be the priority.

The service is aimed at families with children aged 2-11 with autism spectrum disorder or other learning, speech and communicative disorders who have limited or no functional speech. (A diagnosis is not required. ).

Please contact us for further details.

With the use of visual aids, supports and picture communication systems, we can help your child to develop crucial communication skills including:

- requesting desired items / activities
- how to indicate 'yes' and 'no'
- how to ask for help.

Communication is a two-way process and Leeds Autism Family Support work with families and children in their own homes to develop receptive and expressive communication strategies.

Please contact us for an informal discussion and for further information.
