Overview

Neuro-affirming strategies for parents and caregivers of autistic children, or those who suspect their child may be autistic.

This workshop offers neuro-affirming strategies for parents and caregivers of autistic children, or those who suspect their child may be autistic.

Facilitated by

  • Ashlee Lance, AuDHDer, parent of autistic children, Director of Treehouse Paediatrics
