Early Bird - National
EarlyBird is for parents whose child has received a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and is of pre-school age.
The programme aims to support parents in the period between diagnosis and school placement, empowering and helping them facilitate their child's social communication and appropriate behaviour in their natural environment. It also helps parents to establish good practice in handling their child at an early age, so as to pre-empt the development of inappropriate behaviours.

The Lincolnshire NAS EarlyBird Programme is a three month programme which combines group training with individual sessions for parents and their child, using video feedback to help parents apply what they learn whilst working with their child.
