Event description

Supporting girls on the autism spectrum:

General Family Workshop

Girls on the spectrum can present with a different profile from that of their male peers and are nearly four times less likely to be diagnosed on the autism spectrum than boys. This can mean that girls on the spectrum are misunderstood and may not receive the most appropriate supports for their particular needs.

This session looks at a range of topics including :

  • Differences in making a diagnosis;
  • Passions and interests;
  • Social and communication skills;
  • Developing friendship skills;
  • Internal anxiety and depression;
  • Using their strengths to build self-esteem;
  • Bullying; and 
  • Menstruation and dating.

    Workshop Definitions:

    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. It is recommended that participants first attend a General Workshop prior to attending an In Focus Workshop.

    Autism SA has a highly experienced and diverse training team which includes consultants, occupational therapists, speech pathologists and facilitators who have extensive experience in working with individuals on the autism spectrum in a range of settings.
