What can the Reference and Regulate program
do for a child with ASD?
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.
As you develop your understanding of Autism
Spectrum Disorder and how that affects a 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.
We have seen children with ASD grow in ways that you might
not be able to imagine…but ways that we have seen. We will
introduce you to that vision.
