LOCAL COURSES in the West Sussex area:
These are courses I organise and run independently as well as by invitation.
HELPING YOUR CHILD ON THE AUTISTIC SPRECTRUM (0-11)
This is a course for parents course for parents who have children on the autistic spectrum. Together we will work to understand them, reduce their stress and help them to reach their full potential.
- Understanding your child’s stress, anxiety, need to control, demand-avoidance, repetitive play, need to stim, need to switch off from you, sensory overloads and their behaviour. We will talk about how all these things relate and help you to understand your child and reduce the distress that he/she experiences.
- We will then focus on connection – helping your child to engage with you, connect and interact with others, develop their thinking, find and develop their motivations, grow socially and academically, start to see from other people’s points of view and become aware of their effect on others. We will focus on helping your child to talk and converse and most importantly helping them to feel they are OK exactly as they are.
- We will also look at your child’s school situation and discover what is working and what isn’t and look at alternative ways he can learn and grow – either in addition to or instead of school.
In the course you will be provided with your own booklet to work through and keep as a diary and ongoing way of assessing how you are feeling and how your child is developing.
