Disclosing Aspergers workshop

Hi everyone.

For your information, have just been sent the following email about an Aspergers workshop:


---

I’m writing to let you know that registrations are now open for the full day Special Little People seminar to help children with Asperger's/Autism Spectrum Disorders: “How to best support Primary School children”
Wednesday, June 19th, Darebin Arts and Entertainment Centre, Preston Registrations close: 20th May

It’s exactly the same seminar we ran in March, where presentations focused on strategies: managing anxiety, pragmatics, team work, handling bullying and disclosing an ASD.

Here’s what attendees had to say about the March seminar:

“A very helpful, well organised seminar - a terrific insight into the “world of an aspie.”

“All information was helpful - especially parents understanding teachers and teachers understanding parents.”

“I came away upbeat and not overwhelmed as I have done on many occasions of going to these seminars/workshops.”

This seminar is for all year levels in primary school and brings together the main professionals needed to help case manage a child with Asperger's.

If you know any parents, teachers, service providers, others that you think this seminar would benefit please email it on, publish it on your facebook site, etc and a flyer is enclosed if you wanted to print it out and post up on notice boards etc.

The website for further information and to register is


Thank you for your support to date. We are really trying to have the wider community see the world through the eyes of a child with Asperger’s as the basis of our seminars, strategies then follow. Hopefully we’ll get even more parents, teachers and other professionals coming for the same seminar to help us with this goal!

Thank you for your time and passing this email on!
