Autism Pathways presents: First Steps for Parents

This course will best serve Parents who are on a waitlist to access services and/or who are wanting to learn more about practical evidence-based support strategies for use at home.

A course that has been specifically designed for parents who are looking for practical strategies to use to support their child at home and in community settings. An initial full-day will be led by a skilled facilitator and will focus on strategies that you can use to support your child's communication and language development, teach daily living skills (like bathing, eating, and dressing), and prevent and respond to behaviours of concern. A few weeks later, a shorter session gives you the opportunity to ask questions and receive more advice on how to support your child using the strategies introduced in the workshop.

Understanding and using positive reinforcement, Breaking skills down for teaching, Prompting to support learning, Thinking functionally about behaviour are topics that will be covered during the day, plus time to ask the facilitator questions.

Facilitation will be led by, Jo Taylor.

Jo Taylor is an ABA clinician and training facilitator with extensive experience supporting early childhood learners and their families access high quality ABA-based supports. In addition, she has supported primary aged learners with a diverse range of learning needs particularly autistic children. Jo has led teams of teachers and therapists in the development and implementation of individualised and small group curriculum in both inclusive mainstream and specialist settings for well over a decade. Jo is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne's Melbourne Graduate School of Education investigating first response strategies for autistic students showing signs of school refusal.
