westie Report post Posted October 24, 2009 Please find below details of a National Autistic Society (NAS) HELP 2 seminar for parents of children with a diagnosis of ASD in the Rotherham area (Note that our local NAS branch have been advised that as PDA is considered part of the autistic spectrum then parents of children - and children themselvelves - who have been diagnosed with PDA should be able to access services and training offered by NAS. Note that there may be other considerations in making a decision such as "do staff have training/ awareness of PDA" etc before you get too excited! - but would say it is worth asking the question if you do have NAS groups or training in your area that you would like to attend. Also note this comment relates to NAS groups/ training only, other organisations or groups may have a different opinion/ viewpoint!)
