About the Workshop
This online workshop is designed for parents and carers of young children (aged 0 – 7) who have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or who are currently undergoing a diagnosis. We will help you improve your understanding of Autism and help you better support your child.
Autism has no specific known cause and treatment. However, research suggests that a holistic therapeutic approach with family support is a must. We will work with you to teach you how you can support the development and effective management of Autism Conditions in your child.
You’ll learn about the best practices as well as receive practical tips on how to manage the day to day needs of your child. We will discuss how to support therapy while promoting independence.
We also promote positive relationships amongst parents and the Autism community. Parents who attend our workshops often find it very empowering to share their experiences with others.
