Autism Support Allerdale & Copeland

Hi, I'm kath, My son Jamie Left School in july 2019 and started Westhouse services in September 2019, I found through the transition period I found myself having to repeat myself alot and information not being passed on to the required proffesionals in regards to Jamie's needs, so it made jamie very anxious when he went to places and they didnt  know his needs.

I decided to make my own portfolio so I was sure all information was fully passed on and no excuses to meet Jamie's needs.

This is the Template free to use, or you could read the one I wrote at our office if you required help, sorry I can't place it on the website as it is personal.

Blogs


Terri Hargraves - Autistic Adult in the wild


Hello, my name is Terri Hargreaves and I am the Autistic Adult in the Wild. I launched this blog site in 2019 following on from being a regular contributor to a workplace autism awareness blog, and I should probably warn you that
I’ve been told that my posts are longer than blog posts are supposed to be.
I try to post one blog a month, usually around the 15th, and the topics come from the random musings of my autistic brain.
I am always open to suggestions thought, so if you have a question you would like me to answer, or a topic you’d like me to cover, you can send me an email at autisticadultinthewild@gmail.com.
