PAACT

PAACT Family is the membership and support community of PAACT (Parents and Autistic Children Together), a parent-led group supporting families of neurodivergent children, particularly in Lincolnshire. It is designed for parents, guardians, carers, relatives and others interested in autism, ADHD, PDA and related conditions. The organisation aims to help families feel less isolated and overwhelmed, understand children’s communication and behaviour, and find practical guidance before and after diagnosis.

Members can attend weekly live question-and-answer sessions, watch recordings at a convenient time, and join monthly workshops and expert talks. PAACT also offers resources, support group meetings, training programmes and activities intended to help families better understand their child’s needs and identify appropriate support. Selected workshops are available to non-members, while some recorded courses can be purchased separately. The site also advertises appointments, including walking and talking sessions, and online workshops for parents. Donations help families seek financial assistance with diagnostic, sensory, counselling and dyslexia assessments.
