What is this service?
FOCUS Surrey is a Saturday club for children with autism.
Children with autism are taught social and early years skills in line with the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis. The approach will be fun, nurturing, child-centred, play-based and include natural environment teaching.
The club runs two terms a year - from February to May and September to December every Saturday from 10am to 12pm for children aged up to 10 and from 1pm to 3pm for children aged from 11 to 16.
The club provides ongoing training for volunteer tutors which is led by autism experts - Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBAs). The consultants will set targets and be on hand to advise parents about behaviours and communication targets.
Parents currently must stay on site during club hours. There is a parent’s seating area with free tea, coffee and biscuits, and Wi-Fi throughout the centre. Focus club organisers have also planned networking and some speaker events for parents.
There are also regular SEN discos held.
