Training at Number 6 is organised by the Employment/Training Coordinator, Andy Horseman.

A series of sessions for Families and Carers offering practical ideas and advice. Overviews of Asperger Syndrome issues and how they relate to statutory services and voluntary organisations. Issue-specific, tailor-made packages which can be delivered to groups of any size. Training is usually provided by the Number 6 staff, who have experience of supporting individuals on a practical, day-to-day basis.
