Waiting For Assessment Workshop
February 22nd (Moved from January 11th)
Time: 1pm-4pm
Highliner Plaza Hotel & Conference Centre (Metlakatla Room) - 815 1st Ave. West

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.
