Welcome to the first newsletter!

To start with, thank you to everyone who has contacted Cheshire Psychology through the website, and to those just browsing through. It is good to know that the site is being seen from different locations on the web.

There has been quite a lot of attention in the media recently about autistic spectrum disorders (ASD), and schools are beginning to work more closely with various agencies and families to support children and young people with ASD (often in the form of Asperger Syndrome) in mainstream education. This is excellent news - if you or someone you know is in this situation, please make sure you are discussing your concerns with the school or college's sepecial educational needs co-ordinators (SENCO). Local mental health services often are not able to diagnose ASD, so if you would like to find out how this can be done, please get in touch.

Lastly, there are no services available next week (13th September - 21st September) due to holidays, so if you would like to contact us to talk about making an appointment, please send us an e-mail from the 'Contact Us' tab, and I will reply as soon as possible. There are some appointment slots still available, mainly at weekends.

Now that the summer has passed us by (and the sunshine, regrettably), autumn feels that it is upon us, so watch out for leaves beginning to go red on the trees.
