SUMMARY:ONLINE AUTISM AND GIRLS - THE HIDDEN GENDER
DESCRIPTION:THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE HOSTED ON ZOOM\, ATTENDEES WILL BE MAILED A MEETING CODE PRIOR TO THE EVENT. \n‘Are parents and professionals missing the signs of autism in girls?’ (Kate Reynolds) \nAutism is often described as the ‘exaggerated male brain’ and certainly there is prevalence in diagnosis with current National Autistic Society figures showing that only 1 in 4 diagnoses are female. Is this really an accurate picture though? Are boys really more susceptible to this condition? \nIn this course\, we explore why autism is different for girls\, the gender issues within diagnostic methods and the issues with gender bias even post diagnosis. We will look at the particular characteristics presenting within girls as well as female friendly strategies for dealing with big issues such as puberty. \nYour trainer is \nTracy Mapp MSc ABA (Intellectual Developmental Disability) BA (Hons) Fine Art\, PGCE\, QTLS\nTracy has a comprehensive background in the fields of Behaviour Management\, Autism and Precision Teaching with extensive experience working with teenagers and young people.

SUMMARY:ONLINE ANXIETY - HELPING CHILDREN TO COPE
DESCRIPTION:THIS WORKSHOP IS BEING HOSTED VIA ZOOM – A LINK WILL BE PROVIDED PRIOR TO THE EVENT. \n‘Anxiety is a thin stream of fears trickling through the mind. If encouraged\, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.’ \nArthur Somers Roche \nThe daily pressures on our children are increasing from targets and testing in the classroom to the rise of pressure advertising and social media. For many of our children the world\, or certain aspects of it\, is overwhelming\, complex and scary. From separation and social anxiety to performance and health anxiety\, an increasing number of children now benefit from direct support to manage their worries. \nThis workshop will introduce you to the current thinking around children’s anxiety and move onto exploring ways to support young people to manage their anxiety more effectively. We will introduce you to visual resources and a toolbox of practical strategies that can be used within home and school. \nTickets £10  per person. \nYour trainer is Niki Green. \nFEEDBACK \n‘Fantastic course – can definitely recommend and I will certainly attend more workshops on offer. Thank you for delivering a well rounded session. I came away feeling more informed\, confident and reassured. This is probably the first time that I felt that others ‘got it’\, that I wasn’t alone and it has reassured me that I am heading in the right direction with the various strategies etc. Once again\, thank you for the professional delivery of the course and opportunity’
