What will the R&R Parent Introductory
Workshop teach?
§
Parenting a Child with Autism
How do I help my child?
Everyone on the planet wants to be seen and
heard, but how do you see and hear a child with
autism? This workshop will help you see what is
going on inside the child, under their confusing
and often, challenging behaviours.
§
§
§
I don’t know what to do!
As you develop your understanding of Autism
Spectrum Disorder and how that affects your
child, you can come along side them in new
ways. When you begin to relate to them, at their
level of development, you can help them grow
into the next stage, and the next.
§
Research and clinical experience with most of the
popular current treatment models to better
understand best practice and define core deficits
in ASD.
The development of referencing and social
cognition in typical children and the stages of
remediation of these skills in children with ASD
Social referencing as a pivotal and prerequisite
skill for later developing language, peer
interactions and self regulation
Research, theory and practice in Behavioural vs.
Attachment/Developmental Parenting and
Intervention

I’m so worried about them!
Parenting your child in this way will often raise
questions about our beliefs about parenting, and
ourselves as parents. If you can make sense of
this, your child will grow in ways that you can’t
imagine…but ways that we have seen. We can
introduce you to that vision.
