COVID-19 - NEW ARRANGEMENTS
In light of the latest government Covid 19 announcement 2021 and after considering the other Surrey ASD Outreach services’ decision to suspend all school visits, the Linden Bridge ASD Outreach team will continue to remain using online meetings only with immediate effect.
We will keep diary appointments already made for Google Meet or Teams meetings; your advisor will be in contact with you to arrange this. If you would prefer, we will rearrange the appointment for a time we can return to school visits.
Any previously scheduled visits will now be carried out as an online meeting
Please continue to refer your pupils’ using our online referral service and a member of the team will be in contact with you as soon as possible
Please be aware that we currently have a huge backlog and we are working through this as quickly as possible
Thank you for your patience, we look forward to continuing to support your pupils’ and staff working with them.
Kind Regards,
Theresa Donnelly, Sarah Scott, and Katie Woods

Pupil Support
We support pupils with a diagnosis of an Autism in mainstream schools. Support in schools usually begins with one of the specialists observing a child in the class. We can offer support with a variety of issues such as:
· Including the child more fully into the class
· Exploring ways in which the curriculum and work can be adapted
· Understanding communication, sensory and behaviour difficulties
· Developing the pupil's and other pupils’ understanding of ASD
· Supporting pupils through the process of school transition
Contact Us
Class teachers, SENCOs, Educational Psychologists and GP’s, can all make referrals for any pupil who has a diagnosis of an Autism.
We can be contacted by e-mail on:
outreach@linden-bridge.surrey.sch.uk
