Workshop: How to Support Autistic Participants and Staff in a Neuro-affirming way

This workshop is developed especially for NDIS Support Coordinators, LACS and other NDIS staff supporting autistic Participants.

We will explore typical and challenging behaviours, and give you insights as to their reasons and how to respond for the best outcome.

We will help you understand potential triggers and learn how to recognise and address these triggers effectively. We will give you the tools to support individuals in a neuro-affirming way.

Build your awareness and skills in this workshop so you can offer the best support to autistic and neurodiverse Participants and employees!
