Facebook Live: Supporting Children with Autism to Thrive
Every person with autism is different, with a range of abilities, strengths and needs. You’ll learn more about autism and how it influences how a person thinks, feels, interacts and experiences their environment. We’ll look at some of the myths and misunderstandings, help you understand how to identify and access appropriate supports and explore some of the therapeutic options available to help children with autism thrive.
