Hi everyone,
How’re you? Are you enjoying the beautiful fall colors on a bright sunny day? I hope you do.
Our autism journey could be beautiful (although not easy) too, if we know what to do and we get support along the way… In our upcoming Burnaby Group meeting, we will have a workshop with facilitated discussion and information on what to do and where to get support, how to choose services/hire and work with BIs, behaviour consultants and other professionals, at home or in the school setting. This is for new or experienced parents or family members/caregivers. Bring your questions and prepare to share your experiences.
Autism BC Burnaby Community Support Group Proudly presents:
