This was a rewarding and very full 3 days. By the end we developed a IEP for our child that was whanau built with professional input too.
I came back with a great understanding of how ASD children think and a better understanding of what life is like for them. We all think communicating is easy but this course make you stop and think about the things we say. Sometimes simple instructions are not so simple.
If you ever get a chance to do this course DO IT !!!!!!
