Understanding and Supporting Loved Ones touched by 
Autism Spectrum Disorders

~ A special workshop for grandparents and family friends.


The Center for Spectrum Services is presenting this informational seminar to extended family members and close friends to help obtain a better overview of the needs of children with autism and their families. We will define what Autism Spectrum Disorders are as well as the related social, communication, and behavioral components. We will discuss the impact this disorder often has on the family and ways that others who care can provide support. In addition, we take a look at common strategies that are often used to promote language, motor development, sensory integration and adaptive behavior. We will also have an opportunity for questions and answers. Please join us for this special event! Your support of our children and their families is extremely important to all of us!

** Tuesday, July 20th 10:00 – 12:00 **

Free to family and friends of Spectrum Services students.

Sibling groups and Childcare

Our parent discussion group offers you the chance to share parenting experiences and discuss strategies for managing your child’s special needs. We can also discuss community resources and learn about upcoming conferences and new research. Most importantly we support one another in an informal and comfortable setting. 

Our two special sibling discussion groups provide an opportunity for your child (or children) to interact with other children who have a sibling with special needs and may be experiencing similar feelings and concerns.  The group will include various fun activities (games, cooking, discussion, art) designed to help children learn many new ways of playing and interacting with their sibling in a fun and understanding manner.

Childcare is also available for our students and their siblings aged five and younger. Please be sure to inform us if your childcare needs change. We hire staff based on the number of children signed up to attend.
