Description
Understanding Autistic Children Masterclass with Autistic TED Speaker and NTI Founder Jude Morrow & Evaleen Whelton, founder of Ausome Training and Konfident Kidz, author of Konnect Series Social Skills Books
When parents and professionals hear the words “autism” or “autistic”, there is always a sense of fear, why is that?
Professionals, teachers and parents are often railroaded into “training” or “workshops” that seek to bring about behavioural change in Autistic children.
When interventions designed to “support” autistic children, are more for the benefit of those around them, you must ask yourself – is this morally and ethically correct?
Evaleen and Jude have both been there, through the “supports” that actively seek to suppress rather than embrace, both in childhood and adulthood.
Professionals and parents always have an inherent good nature, and will always want what is best for their autistic children/clients. However, the vast majority of what people know about autistic children comes from……MARKETING COMPANIES.
The world we want, is to have parents and professionals embrace and respect autistic children exactly as they are! That there are should be no restrictions on how a child should “play”, “communicate” and “socialise”. Autistic people play, communicate and socialise autistically, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
This Session on understanding Autistic children is ideal for parents of Autistic children, school staff and young people as well as mental health professionals. You will learn the reason why Autistic people like us, tend to have poor mental health outcomes and how you can play your part to reverse that.
Jude and Evaleen will take you into the core of their existence and explain the profound link between being autistic and having poorer mental health outcomes, and how each and every one of you can take immediate steps to make the life experience more fulfilling for autistic people everywhere.
