Autism and Life Skills


Course Content
One of the keys to happiness and life satisfaction is to feel valued and have a sense of independence in the community.  This session will explore how to facilitate young people with autism to be as independent as possible by teaching them work, self-care and leisure skills.   The more skills one has, the more choices one may have.

Expected Outcomes
Parents and family members will have an increased understanding of:
• How to maximise independence.
• The importance of life skills acquisition
• How to use children’s and young people’s strengths to help them reach their potential
• How to teach important life skills to children and young people.
