Practical Autism Strategies: 2 Day Workshop
Why Autism Spectrum Disorder?
As more children are being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), mainstream teachers are increasingly expected to provide appropriate support for students with complex learning needs within mainstream classes. Students with ASD often require support to cope with the social demands of the classroom and playground, deal with change, avoid sensory overload,and achieve their full learning potential.
Who should attend?
Teachers and teacher aides who want to learn and share practical strategies which benefit students with ASD in the classroom and the playground. Psychologists, speech pathologists and occupational therapists who are interested in practical strategies for their clients with autism are also very welcome to attend.
Why this workshop?
Emphasis is placed on understanding how students with ASD perceive the world differently, and how this impacts on their behaviour at school. Participants are encouraged to make subtle changes to their interaction and intervention style to reduce students' anxiety and prevent challenging behaviours. Participants will practice their skills by responding to scenarios in small groups. Course notes include visual aids and proformas that can be adapted to suit your own students.

Workshops for Parents
These workshops are a great opportunity to meet other parents and share strategies. Parent workshops are open to all parents of children and adolescents on the autism spectrum (you do not need to have had an assessment through Autism Understanding to attend the workshops). There are two different workshops available to parents:
"After the diagnosis: Strategies for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder"
and
"Parenting adolescents with Asperger’s & Autism: Adjusting strategies to enhance independence"
We run these workshops from time to time depending on levels of interest expressed by parents. To register your interest in attending one of these workshops, please contact us on 4967 3363 and we can let you know when a workshop is planned.
