SASSI Needs You

16th May 2010

Hi everyone. This is the first proper blog about SASSI. Hope you're finding the new website useful, do let us know what you would like SASSI to be doing. We really need a few more people to join the committee. We are all working, have kids with ASD plus all the other stuff and it helps if there are more people to help with planning the events, making the tea etc. The committee meets once a month at The Wilson Arms in Knowle, so we have a drink or a coffee and a good chat as well as planning future events. Please email me if you would like to join.

We hope to start putting useful books, DVDs on the website let us know of any that you have found particularly helpful.

The April meeting with Kevin Baskerville was very successful and we're hoping he'll be back in Septemeber to talk about sensory issues. Don't forget the may meeting when staff from SOLO will talk about leisure opportunities and the transition event in November. If you have young people with ASD especially Aspergers do encourage them to come to the June meeting when John Simpson is back for the third time. He is a brilliant speaker and really lets us know what school and college can be like for someone with ASD. Hope to see you at the meetings.

Best wishes
Jan Bradshaw (Chair of SASSI)
