Autism Acceptance Week

This year, World Autism Acceptance Week is from 28 March to 3 April.

We have an exciting series of events for children and their families, and professionals at four local libraries. We have also secured a number of places for the National Autistic Societies Autism in Girls Training.

Because it’s the 60th Anniversary of the campaign, we are challenging 60 parent carers and professionals to sign up for the training during the campaign week.

Library pop-up events

All the events are from 9:30-11:30am

• Waltham Library. Tuesday 29 March
• Grimsby Library. Wednesday 30 March
• Immingham Library. Thursday 31 March

You can sign up to Lincs Inspire at the event or online. Children & Young People (lincsinspire.com)- external site .

The highlight of the events is a whole suite of books about Autism Spectrum Disorder.

There are books for children and young people with SEND, their brothers, sisters and friends, and parent carers. There are also books for professionals and books on other neurodiverse needs.

At the event you will also be able to meet our friendly team and give us your feedback about your experience of our local SEND offer.
