We have created an event that will address the needs of parents of newly diagnosed children or for parents who are awaiting a diagnosis. AUsome Training knows that this can be an overwhelming time for parents because of the tragedy narrative around autism. There are overwhelming amounts of information available and unfortunately far too much misinformation. By attending our autism course specifically for parents you can cut through all this misinformation and find out what you really need to know to raise a confident Autistic child. Speakers:
