Description
Building a foundation to help autistic children feel safe, supported, and connected.
Caring for an autistic child or adolescent may bring questions and challenges that kinship caregivers do not always feel prepared for. Join us as we explore autism together, from understanding core characteristics to learning about helpful resources and available supports in the community. This session is designed to help kinship caregivers better support their autistic loved one by expanding their understanding of behaviors, sensory needs, and communication differences.
Let us support your understanding, confidence, and connection with the autistic children you care for every day.
We’ll Cover:
-
- Key characteristics of autism and how differently they may present in autistic children and adolescents.
- Address sensory needs, communication, and behavior from a strength-based lens.
- Strategies to support kinship caregivers, establish routines and understand potential root cause(s) of behavior from an autistic perspective.
- Practical ways kinship caregivers can provide support at home
- Encouragement and resources for navigating the caregiving journey
