Raising Awareness: Understanding Autism

Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a complex neurological condition characterized by challenges in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. It affects individuals differently, ranging from mild to severe symptoms. While there is no known cure, early intervention, therapies, and support can greatly improve the quality of life for those with autism. Understanding and acceptance are crucial in fostering inclusivity and support for individuals on the autism spectrum.

Workshop Objective

Through engaging presentations, interactive panel discussions and resource sharing, participants will gain valuable insights into the diverse characteristics of ASD, challenges and strength associated with ASD, and explore strategies for support and advocacy.

Join us for an informative one-day workshop focused on understanding, acceptance and building an inclusive community to empower individuals and families with ASD.

Who is this workshop for

This workshop is designed for families with ASD, care givers, business and community organizations interested in learning more about ASD, promote advocacy, inclusion and empowerment.
