Understanding Autism

Join us for an informative and supportive session designed to help parents/carers better understand autism through a neurodiversity-affirming lens. This training will provide clear, accurate information about what autism is - and what it isn’t - while gently challenging common myths and misconceptions.We’ll explore:

• What autism really means in terms of communication, sensory processing, and social interaction
• Why behaviours often reflect communication needs, not defiance or disinterest
• Practical, everyday strategies to support your child’s communication at home
• How to create a responsive environment that honours your child’s unique strengths and preferences

Whether your child has a recent diagnosis or you’re looking to deepen your understanding, this session offers tools, insights, and reassurance to help you feel more confident in supporting their communication journey.
