Delivered by SCP mental health professionals
Sensory Workshop
Information about sensory differences amongst neurodiverse children and young people and how they can be supported at home and in school.

Communication Workshop

The series of workshops takes place each month of the school year and are split into primary and secondary age range. In Feb. and March they will take place at the Millennium Powerhouse, Moss Side M14 4SL, but in due course, the SCP aim to run sessions in locations in Manchester North / Central / South.
Parents/Carers can sign up to separate sessions – i.e. they do not have to do the series ‘in one go’.
How to enrol on a session
Parents/carers can sign up for all sessions on the Parent Carer Forum website under ‘Upcoming Events’
