Autism Family Support Oxfordshire

Autism Family Support Oxfordshire is a charity that provides support to children and young people aged 0-25 years old, with  a diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum Condition(ASC), and their families; who live within Oxfordshire or access services in Oxfordshire such as schools or a GP. They offer support to families by providing information, training, workshops and networking.

We provide:

• training for parents, professionals and young people including social skills, sensory processing, challenging behaviour, sexuality and relationships, autism awareness, and bespoke training.
