Are you an autistic mother? You may be interested in this opportunity to participate in research.

Are you a parent of a child with autism and/or ADHD? We’re holding a free online workshop for parents and caregivers: The Brain's Air Traffic Control System.

🗓️ Thursday, 2 July
⏰ 11.00am-12.00pm AWST | 1.00pm-2.00pm AEST

Autistic kids and those with ADHD can experience differences in executive functioning skills. These skills are involved in helping kids to:
👉 plan
👉 focus attention
👉 remember instructions
👉 initiate tasks
👉 solve problems
👉 achieve goals
👉 adapt to new situations

Join this workshop, presented by Katie Johnson, CliniKids Occupational Therapist, and learn how to support your child’s executive functioning and help them thrive.

Does your child show differences in play and social communication skills? We offer JASPER therapy, which teaches kids skills for social communication.

JASPER (Joint Attention, Symbolic Play, Engagement and Regulation) is an evidence-based therapy involving play-based sessions.

✅ Studies have shown that kids who participate in JASPER therapy show improvements in joint engagement, social communication and play skills.

🗓️ CliniKids is the only provider of the JASPER program in Australia – and we have limited appointments commencing in July. More info & register your interest: https://shorturl.at/UBc7v
