Bravo begins!
Our new Bravo Group is up and running. Last week was something of a 'meet & greet' but last night's session was the first time the group got down to any serious work.
The Bravo Group has begun thanks to the funding we received from the Mayor of London's Young Londoners Fund It is a brand new project aimed at teaching valuable life skills to young people on the autistic spectrum, exactly like the Alpha Group which has been running for three months in Havering.
Aimed at young people aged 10-16 in Barking & Dagenham, Redbridge and Havering with high functioning autism who access a mainstream school, the new project is based at the Sycamore premises in Dagenham on Thursday evenings between 6.30 and 8.30pm.
The programme consists of five modules designed to to enable our young people to learn the skills required to fulfil their potential and include such topics as basic living, healthy life styles, social skills and safer relationships. In the first exercise, the youngsters have started to learn about road safety whilst walking and cycling, including such activities as planning their route and being aware of vehicles, pedestrians and road signs.
