Hi everyone,
We thought we'd create a discussion where people can say hello and introduce themselves.
You don't have to say something here but it'd be nice to get a chance to say hello
Please remember that you should not share personal details (such as emails or phone numbers) to protect your privacy.
And don't feel you have to introduce yourself, it's entirely up to you and please only share what you're comfortable with.
Hi! My name is Peter. I have a (nearly) nine year old daughter with HFA / Aspergers.
I need your help and support.
It has been discovered that North East Lincolnshire Council is to close the ASDREL centre in Grimsby, which supports chidren with ASD to cope with the pressures of mainstream education. Grimsby has one of the worst records for SEN achievement in the UK and this news could not have come at a worse time for our children and and families. Staff have been told their contracts will expire on 31st March 2012, effectively closing the service down. We have the support of our local MP's and have set up a facebook group SAVE ASDREL. Please join our group and pledge your support.
The situation is best explained by the following articles in the Grimsby Evening Telegraph. Any input from the NAS press team would also be welcome.
