Waiting For Assessment Workshop
October 19th
12:30 pm-3:30 pm
Fort St. John Child Development Centre, 10417 106 Ave., Ft. St. John V1J 2M8

Join us for a 3-hour workshop that covers the essential information that families need to know at the start of their autism journey. 

• Basic information about autism
• How to prepare for an autism assessment and what your family can do while you wait
• Pros and cons of private vs. public assessments and diagnoses
• What to expect at the assessment and after a diagnosis
• Tips on coping strategies, how to talk to your family and friends about autism, etc.

You will also have the opportunity to pose questions to a Board-Certified Behavioural Analyst (BCBA). For many families, this workshop is the first touchpoint to the autism community. It is a place to meet other parents and families facing similar challenges in your community.

Program Objectives

• Children with autism across B.C. get the best standard of care and support possible to enable them to reach their full potential
• Families across B.C. are empowered to make educated decisions about their child’s autism assessment process
