A bi-monthly Teen Club for young people aged 12 to 18 years with special educational needs, such as aspergers, autism, dyslexia, anxiety, OCD, ADHD and learning difficulties. No diagnosis is required. Age appropriate siblings may also be able to attend depending on spaces (please speak to our staff)
We run alternate sessions – one WITH all parents staying at the venue and one WITHOUT parents (depending on the young persons needs, ability and confidence).
Children attending sessions WITHOUT parents must be able to access the session activity on an adult to child ratio of 1:8. (We are not able to provide one to one support).
The aim of the club is to encourage socialising, making friends and getting out of the house for a few hours!
Staff are experienced working with children & young people with a variety of needs and the environment is supportive and easygoing.
Small snack & drink is provided.
