    Am I a Family, Friend, or
    Neighbor (FFN) Caregiver?

    Do you care for the children of a family
    member, friend, or neighbor on a regular
    basis? Then you are an FFN!

    Why Should I Seek
    Consultation?

    Are you feeling burnt out?
    Do you need additional support in
    understanding and responding to
    children's behavior?
    Would you like to develop more skills
    to support children's social, emotional,
    and mental health?
    Do children in your care need help
    coping with stress and trauma?

    Areas of Support
    • Focusing on your relationships with
    the children and families in your care
    • Responding to behavior that you may
    find concerning or challenging

  • THE AUTISM PROJECT: PROACTIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORTS FOR PRESCHOOL


    Join us Tuesday, December 8th
    from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm

    About the workshop:

    Classroom learning, community engagement, and relationship dynamics are often impacted by dysregulation. This dysregulation is often labeled as “challenging behavior.”


    The goal of this training is to provide basic information about a variety of proactive behavior strategies that can be applied to support autistic children and teach key skills. This training provides participants with information and tools to assist professionals in reframing their interpretation of “challenging behavior” and addressing it in a supportive way.


    With an expanded toolkit of strategies and tools, participants will be equipped to help build healthier interactions, and to foster and nurture an inclusive environment where all children can thrive.
