WARGRAVE House school in Newton-le-Willows is running a special programme for parents of pre-school children recently diagnosed as autistic to help them to understand and manage their child's behaviour.

The National Autistic Society (NAS) EarlyBird Programme is open to any local parents whose children are not yet in full-time education and have an autistic spectrum disorder.
