Understanding My Autism: Empowerment Course for Children and Young Teens

Through interactive sessions, participants will explore what Autism means to them, identify strategies to support their well-being, articulate their needs, and celebrate their uniqueness. A diagnosis is not required, although your child should be on the pathway and aware that they are likely Autistic.

    FAQs

    What is the role of parents/carers in the online sessions?

    We anticipate that a parent/carer may need to play an active role in setting their child up on zoom for the session, ensuring they have all the resources required for the session, helping them to join in with activities as necessary and ensuring the young person is safe and doesn’t move away from the session onto other sites. For some children and young people, parents or carers may need to play more of an active role in the sessions to ensure that children are engaged in the session.
