SYA? is typically an eight , 2 hour session programme which is guided by the sessions outlined below. The sessions combine Chloe’s social psychology, autism, and stigma-reduction background with Annette’s drama/art practitioner and autism background. We endeavour to keep our programme runs to a 10 attendee maximum.
