You will find further information here ASDAN Website | About us and you can talk to Christy or Kerry if you have any questions.

We will also be having weekly cooking and food desensitisation lessons, linked to our topics or a curriculum area, building resilience, independence and promoting healthy lifestyles. Autism and Food Aversion | Otsimo
We will continue to use the Zones of Regulation to develop co-regulation strategies, build your child's toolkit and also develop a deeper understanding of our emotions and feelings and how we can ask for help when we are having difficulties.
