An introduction to the autism spectrum for families and carers:

General Family Workshop

This workshop is a great starting point for individuals that have recently been diagnosed, and their extended family members. Upon completion, participants will have a better understanding of the characteristics of autism, including possible strengths and challenges, and knowledge of a range of strategies and interventions that are available. The presenter will also go over some of the service and funding options available that may be accessible. This workshop also offers an opportunity to meet others on the spectrum and parents/carers of individuals on the spectrum.

General Workshops are designed to give participants a better understanding of autism.  They present a broad range of effective strategies that participants can use to improve their practice when working with individuals on the spectrum. These workshops are suited to participants who have not attended previous Autism SA workshops.

In Focus Workshops are designed for participants who have a good general knowledge and understanding of autism. These sessions are for those wanting to enhance their professional practice by developing skills to support individuals in specific areas relating to autism.
