AutismBC is pleased to collaborate with Provincial Outreach Program for Autism and Related Disorders (POPARD) to present a series of workshops in 2021, aiming to provide resources for families to help their kids (and parents) learn at school, at home, and in the community.

There will be no recording for this workshop (policy of POPARD). Stella will send you the Zoom link closer to the workshop day.

Speaker: Chelsea Jelic, MSc, RSLP, Consultant, POPARD

Friday March 5, 2020 10:30 – 11:30 AM

Woman and Girls on the Autism Spectrum

Research is showing that the incidence of girls and women on the autism spectrum is higher than previously thought. The expression of autism may be somewhat different in girls than it is in boys.
This session will:

• Discuss the differences between boys and girls on the autism spectrum
• Discuss strategies specific to supporting girls on the spectrum
• Provide resources and information on how to connect with other women and girls on the spectrum

Join us for a two-day introduction to Applied Behaviour Analysis and the implementation of autism behaviour plans. You will leave the course with practical tools you can use in the classroom or home environment. Past attendees have included parents, community group leaders, students, educators, classroom assistants, and other individuals who work with or support children on the spectrum. Upon completion of this two-day course, you will be sent a certificate to confirm your attendance.

Cost: $115 for members* & $145 for non members
*You must be signed in to your AutismBC account to access the discount.

Are you an autistic adult who’s interested in meeting and connecting with other adults like yourself? If so, then this is the group for you!

Sometimes it is great to connect with someone who “gets it” and to be recharged and uplifted to keep going for the next little while.

The group is a place for adults on the spectrum to share their personal journeys with autism, as well as the challenges they face, in a safe and supportive environment. Everybody’s lived experiences and personal stories are important. Please feel free to join, listen or share! We’ll have some group conversations about the importance of community inclusion, making communities more accessible, and any other topics members of the group want to talk about.
