Making Materials Evenings
Once a month, Tailor Ed holds a Making Materials Evening. These are open to parents who want to make up teaching materials for their child with resources, coffee and our ideas and laminating skills at their disposal! Whether it's a visual timetable, some PECS symbols or an illustrated social story, we are available to support and assist.
Please get in touch for further details.
Workshops
In the month of March we ran two workshops for parents entitled 'Working towards independent dressing', where we discussed common problems and potential strategies for teaching their child to dress. This proved to be very beneficial for those who attended, and we are hoping to run others in the future. If you would be interested in attending this or other similar workshops on other daily living activities, please let us know.
Signalong courses
Over the past few months we have run several Signalong courses; fun, interactive ways of learning functional signs which we often use with the children we work with.
Previous Events
Parents Evening: Getting to know the tiger
Our first parents evening was held on the 10th of November 2008 and we had the kind donation of The Yard as the venue. It was great to see so many parents and gather some very useful feedback. This will help make sure our new service will be best suited to the needs of families of children with autism and will also help support our applications for funding. Thanks.
