What to Expect
This engaging workshop invites parents and caregivers to move beyond traditional parenting advice and embrace a neurodiversity affirming approach to Autism. You will explore language and strategies that foster understanding, acceptance, and joy in everyday life with your child.
Expect to gain practical tools to strengthen your relationship, enhance communication, and create a supportive environment where your child feels seen, valued, and safe. The session is designed to nurture connection and authenticity rather than focusing on 'fixing' behaviours.
The workshop is ideal for parents, primary carers, and family members of Autistic children or young people, or those with similar developmental differences.
