A – “Take your lead from the child, use their likes and dislikes as you would a child who isn’t on the spectrum. Work closely with the parents to see which, if any, strategies they use that work. We are supported by a specialist teacher, family support keyworker and speech and language to support our little one on the spectrum. He has a one to one who has worked with him for nearly 3 years. This helped us really get to know him and how best to support him.”
