Autism, Psychology & the NDIS: Virtual Autism MyTime

Psychology can play an important role in helping autistic children build self-esteem and confidence while strengthening social and emotional regulation skills. 

Join Mitchell Woods from Ramsay Psychology to learn how psychologists can help parents better understand neurodivergent brains. Discover how they can identify and build upon a child's unique strengths to help them reach their full potential. You'll also learn about the reports psychologists can prepare to support NDIS funding applications. 

There will be an opportunity to ask questions, share your experiences and connect with other families raising Autistic children. 

This event is facilitated by Kristy
