Maltby Centre is now offering a series of online workshops for parents and caregivers! These workshops are designed to help parents understand concepts related to Applied Behaviour Analysis, access resources, and increase overall parent capacity. This online workshop is for parents living in Ontario with a valid OAP registration number.

Parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder often find that their child/youth resists changing activities through the day. Child/youth personality, anxiety, and characteristics associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder all contribute to difficulties with transitions. This presentation covers the most common and effective strategies recommended to parents and caregivers to make transitions easier and less anxiety-provoking. As part of Foundational Family Services, you may choose to meet for an individual session with a Family Support Coordinator following this presentation to help you apply the content of this workshop to your specific family situation.

As a result of participating in this workshop, you will be able to:

1. List challenges associated with autism that may impact children’s/youth’s abilities to make transitions

2. Identify and describe 5 transition strategies and corresponding tools that can be used to support many types of transitions

3. Create an individual plan to teach your child to complete one daily transition

Requirements: To access this workshop, or a follow-up session, you will need a valid Ontario Autism Program Reference number. If you do not have an OAP Reference number please contact the Maltby Centre at 613 546 8535 and ask to speak to a Family Support Coordinator. This is a free workshop.
