Your Child Is Not Giving You A Hard Time, He Or She Is Having A Hard Time

As an autistic individual enters puberty and adulthood, we often notice that new or more intense behavioural challenges may emerge. The impact of such behavioural challenges affects the quality of life not just for the person-on the autism spectrum, but also the whole family.

The first session of this course will highlight the possible reasons for this situation.

The second session presents strategies for families to apply to better support the autistic individual at home through this confusing stage in their lives.

Upon completion of the training workshop, participants will be able to:

• Understand potential reasons for behavioural challenges.
• Learn a framework, as well tools and strategies to support your teenager/adolescent and adult on the spectrum to navigate through escalating and challenging behaviour
