Autism & Anxiety
“Autism and Anxiety” will explore the underlying causes of stress and anxiety in relation to autistic differences. The webinar identifies possible sources of stress and anxiety and how this may be expressed by autistic people, how to provide
effective support for wellbeing and the importance of supporting autistic people to develop self-regulation strategies.

Autism & Sensory Differences
Autistic people experience sensory information in very unique ways, including over-sensitivity, under-sensitivity or poor modulation. Whilst sensory differences can be enjoyable for autistic people, they can also cause significant distress in coping with daily life. This webinar explores sensory differences and strategies to create sensory-friendly environments.

Promoting Positive Behaviour
Who is challenging who? Behaviour that challenges is a form of communication - it's essential to identify what message an individual is sending and how we can respond in a supportive way.
This session will empower parents to identify the causes of behaviour that causes distress and improve wellbeing and quality of life not only for the autistic person but their family and people around them.
