Tips for Toileting | Webinar | 08/08/2020
Toileting is a daily living activity that involves several physical, sensory and social aspects that can make it challenging for children with Autism to learn and gain confidence in.
Every child develops toileting skills in their own time and way. There isn’t one ‘right’ way or set age to learn how to use the toilet— the approach really depends on each child! For children with Autism, toilet training may require a range of strategies.
Join us to learn more about wees, poos and what to do when tackling toilet training for children with Autism.

Social Skills: Figuring Out Friendship | Webinar | 28/08/2020
This training is recommended for parents and carers of children with Autism aged 6 to 13 years.
Everyone has the right to belong and to make meaningful connections with those around them. Social relationships and friendships provide us with experience in managing our own emotions, responding to the feelings of others, collaborating, negotiating and problem-solving. Children with Autism often require support to develop the skills they need to make and keep friends. Join us as we look at how to build on your child’s strengths to help them navigate and benefit from the social dynamics of friendship.

Building Positive Behaviour: Finding the Meaning in Behaviour | Workshop | Subiaco | 19/09/2020
This training is recommended for parents and carers of children with Autism aged 0 to 18 years
To change behaviour, we need to understand why it is occurring. Challenging behaviour happens, not because the person who has Autism is trying to be ‘difficult’ but, because they are responding to a situation in the only way they know how.
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an approach that helps us move closer to understanding the cause of the behaviour and what the person is getting out of it so that we can support them to more effectively meet their needs.
