Workshops

Monday July 20 at 10am

Friday August 7 at 4pm

Are you looking to create structure and support your child during their free time? In this workshop we will review the methods outlined by Coyne, Klagge, and Nyberg in their book Developing Leisure Time Skills for People with Autism Spectrum Disorder Practical Strategies for Home, School, & Community (2016) as they can be applied by parents and caregivers. The method has three components, The Immediate Component, The Exposure Component, and The Training Component. There is a component that can be applied to increasing independence or alleviating dependency on caregivers for all individuals. We will broadly discuss each component and caregivers can determine which component is most applicable to the child or youth in their care.
