Does your child refuse to go to school? Is your child struggling to return to a normal routine after COVID lockdown? Is your child moving to a new school to Intermediate school or College next year? Does your child struggle with small daily transitions?

Children's Autism Foundation and Disability Connect have teamed up to bring you, “Dealing with Change and Transitions”, an interactive 2hr workshop for parents, whanau and teachers/professionals who live or engage with children and young people on the Autism Spectrum.

This workshop will answer your questions and provide you with strategies to support your child through the multitude of changes and transitions they face daily.
