Barnardo's Cygnet Programme
The Barnardo’s Cygnet Programme is administered by the Early Help Service and is open to Kent families with a child/young person of compulsory school age (age 4/5 years to 18 years) who have a formal diagnosis of Autism. Attending Cygnet gives parents and carers an opportunity to develop their understanding of Autism and looks at practical solutions to support their child.
Cygnet also provides the opportunity to meet other people in a similar position and hear about their experiences in an informal but supporting atmosphere.
For more information to be referred, please speak to your child’s school SENCo, Early Help Worker (if applicable), Social Worker (if applicable) or email parentingprogrammes@kent.gov.uk for an application form.
Laleham Gap does not accept liability for services delivered or events hosted by third party organisations.
