Working with individuals who have autism can be a very meaningful experience, but it is not without its challenges. With recent reports indicating that an increasing number of individuals are on the autism spectrum, a greater number of care providers are encountering individuals with autism as part of their work and life. While every person with autism is unique, many face similar challenges. The primary focus of this workshop is to provide practical strategies for working with high-need individuals around self-regulation, learning practices, and challenging behaviours. Participants will review a behavioural framework to provide effective strategies for each of these areas, which they will be able to adapt to their own specific environment and context.

Please note: This workshop is not providing training for clinical therapy – the aim of the workshop is to provide practical strategies for a wide range of helpers who support high-need individuals with autism.

What’s the difference between an on‑demand workshop and a one‑hour webinar?

+

On‑demand workshops are full‑length recordings of our workshops and allow you to explore a topic in depth at your own pace. One‑hour webinars are shorter, condensed sessions focused on key concepts and designed for a brief introduction or refresher.

Are live virtual workshops different from in‑person workshops?

+

The learning experience is very similar. Both formats are facilitator‑led and interactive, with discussion and activities. Live virtual workshops are delivered online, while in‑person workshops take place on-site.

Do I receive a certificate after completing a training?

+

Yes. Participants receive a certificate of completion for eligible formats, including workshops, webinars, and e‑courses. Details are provided with each training.

Can this training be delivered privately for our organization?

+

Yes. All topics are available for private delivery and can be customized to your group’s context, schedule, and learning goals.
