Join us for a 3 hour workshop covering 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).
