2024 Difficult Conversations Webinar

Monday 26 February 2024
In this presentation we consider the barriers which a family might be experiencing, which are stopping them from engaging with us in collaboration. We look at some ways to start the 'Difficult Conversation' with them and also review ways to refer on to further services such as NDIS. We reflect on how many changes we can make before the 'Difficult Conversation', if we build up a thorough knowledge of the child and their current skills and abilities.

Autism - seeing the big picture webinar

Thursday 23 March 2023
This presentation explores Sensory, Cognitive, Social, Rigidity, Communication and Engagement/Play as six key areas which impact Autistic children and adults in varying ways. We explore ways to see the world through the perspective of someone with Autism, increase the child’s skills and reduce demands to maximise confidence, wellbeing and success for all involved. Educators build their understanding of key terminology within the Autism field. This then builds their confidence to discuss concerns and strategies with families and therapists, who may all have a wider knowledge of the subject. Fictional case studies are included. These give the educators an opportunity to realise that they do have the knowledge and confidence to plan strategies, or know where to get further support if they need it.
