COVID-19 Update
During the period of the COVID-19 crisis, the Autism Advisory and Intervention Service (AAIS) is suspending its normal service.
As this is a very difficult and unsettling time for everyone, the Service will endeavour to provide as much support as possible in the current circumstances.
Telephone Advice
AAIS will provide telephone advice for families at home.
A parent or guardian can phone their nearest office number as listed below.
A staff member will log the particular question, query or issue with which you require help.
An experienced team member will then return your call and provide advice and assistance according to your particular need.

Online Resources
Intervention for individual pupils referred to AAIS will be suspended while schools remain closed.
Planned trainings to parents and professionals will also be suspended at this time.
However, AAIS is now developing ways to continue support to our families, children and young people.
We are providing resources and suggestions for strategies to use in the home in the (AAIS) area on the EA website.
We encourage you to access this area and check regularly for any updates.
