SNAP matters Summer Issue out now!
Sharing the news of SNAP’s work and how the charity puts families first, the third issue of SNAP matters is out now for families, supporters and anyone with an interest in SNAP.
Eating Difficulties in Children with ASD
As eating is a subject families can often find challenging, SNAP was thrilled to welcome Tanya Cotier, an autism and social communication specialist teacher, to the centre last week to deliver a training session on helping families with difficulties they may experience with food and eating.
Parent Time
Following the success of previous Parent Time training groups, SNAP was delighted to be able to host another session on Wednesday 14th March 2018. Parent Time is an opportunity to bring together parents of children who have recently transitioned from pre-school services into primary school, and are looking to share their experiences, build friendships, and learn from others.
Making progress with Dyslexia
At the beginning of March, SNAP was thrilled to welcome Emmie Trower to the centre to deliver a training session on supporting children and young people with dyslexia. Emmie runs Dyslexia and Dyscalculia Support in Brentwood, and has a wealth of knowledge and experience of working with children with specific learning difficulties.
Enhancing Communication Workshops
SNAP held another two-session course for parents, to help support their child’s communication. The aim of each workshop was to provide practical advice to help enhance a child’s spoken language and to explore the benefits of using non-verbal methods to support communication.
Countdown to Christmas
As the countdown to Christmas enters the last couple of weeks, SNAP has created a Christmas Survival Guide full of information, tips and ideas to help make the Christmas period less stressful for all the family.
Staying vigilant to your children’s online safety is crucial
Think you are informed about Stranger Danger? SNAP’s upcoming presentation on Online Safety will turn your thinking on its head. This presentation will take parents on an uncomfortable journey where they will be left questioning the current perspective they have about their children’s safety.
Moving to Secondary School 2017
As eating is a subject families can often find challenging, SNAP was thrilled to welcome Tanya Cotier, an autism and social communication specialist teacher, to the centre last week to deliver a training session on helping families with difficulties they may experience with food and eating.
Volunteers making the difference
Volunteers are at the heart of all charities, and are an essential part of ensuring support can be given to those in need. It can be a mutually beneficial experience as volunteering brings benefits to both the person volunteering and the people and organisations that they help.
