Join us for an engaging workshop about autism, where we'll explore topics like language preferences (neurodiverse, takiwatanga, and more), autistic strengths, sensory processing, communication styles, and managing anxiety.
Through discussions, visuals, and interactive activities, participants will gain valuable insights into the autistic experience and how to better understand and support our neurodivergent whānau.
