Providing a peer group for parents and family members to share experiences and information in a positive and supportive setting since 2015.
Learn more about us…
We provide social outlets for young people and adults who have ASD and help to identify and link in with services and professionals in the local area who can provide appropriate supports.
We also provide workshops, information sessions, training, liaise with schools to raise awareness of ASD and assist in providing the supports that are needed for students and families.
Education & Employment Resources
Making a decision on the best educational route for your child is a difficult decision for many parents and can be overwhelming at the beginning as you navigate the system. At KAN we support many parents in this process and provide a forum for others to share their experiences, positive and negative.
