A training to support you as we approach the christmas holidays.
Autistic children and adults alike are known to experience high levels of anxiety. These feelings are often exacerbated during unpredictable and unstructured times.

This session plans to empower participants with strategies to maintain autistic wellbeing.

- Creating predictability and structure
- Managing sensory needs
