Navigating the Journey - Autism Spectrum Disorders at Home and at School

You will leave this workshop with:
- An inspiring vision for Parenting children with ASD
- The beginnings of a support system to help you reach that vision
- Specific strategies and tools for use in your day-to-day interactions with your young person with ASD.
