In this webinar you will learn how to support your Autistic child to develop their social understanding and interaction skills.
Social interaction is hard work for many children on the Autistic spectrum. People are everywhere. Whilst we aren't trying to 'cure' or change anyone and want to celebrate and accomodate neuro-diversity whereever possible, we also want to arm our children with the skills to thrive and achieve, form relationships, lower anxiety and create more predicatbility.
Children develop a huge amount of their social understanding early on through play based, relational activties with their parents or care givers. Autism can make this more challenging. By changing our interaction style and focusing on specific areas, we can help them to build in these areas at any stage of their lives.
In this webinar you will cover:
* The pillars of social interaction - these are the areas that are often impacted by Autism that we need to re-visit and support.
* An in depth look at 'theory of mind.' The ability to consider the perspectives of others and their intentions.
* Communication adjustments that we can make, that can support connection and development.
* Activities and games to work on specific areas.
* Designing and creating your own activities to suit your child.
Your host will be Sam Harris, who has over a decade of expereince working with Autistic children and a background in child development, relational development intervention and other social development programmes such as SCERTS and Michelle Winner's social thinking. He has supported families for the last 7 years to use their interactions with thier child to bring about social development and has seen some incredible changes in that time.
