CDC -Supporting Children with Learning Disability/ ASD: coping with COVID-19 isolation

The next few weeks (and possibly months) will be a particularly difficult time for children and families, whilst schools are closed and we are advised to self-isolate or socially distance ourselves from our friends and family. Our normal structure and routine will be disrupted. This information pack aims to support parent carers of children with an ASD or LD during this time and will hopefully make things a little more manageable.
