2022-2023 Parent Education Course Registration
Our 2022-2023 Parent Education Course is a virtual workshop designed for parents & caretakers of autistic children, as well as young autistic adults. The course aims to inform about the autistic neurotype, the history of the autistic advocacy movement, as well as how to support your autistic loved ones in & outside of the classroom. A Q&A discussion follows each course.
