Autism Sensory Workshop Cairns Qld

Autism Sensory Detective Workshop for teachers, health professionals, support workers and families.
The Workshop HANDOUT NOTES will be emailed prior to the event.
The workshop provides a detailed description of individuals on the Autism Spectrum, including profiles on the neurology, biology,
cognitive processing, perception differences and learning styles of those with
the condition.
The workshop
offers a vivid insight into the subtle intricacies
of Autism/Asperger’s; but more importantly provides participants a
myriad of strategies to engage successfully
with individuals on the Spectrum.
Participants
will learn
specific techniques for
dealing with challenging behaviours and meltdown
and how to decrease stress in those with AS.

interactive exercise that allows you to look at Autism/Asperger’s from the
