This workshop will address some key areas of difficulty in emotion regulation for young children and how this can relate specifically to children on the spectrum, and some tools we can work on to manage these situations with care and compassion, with a focus on learning how to cope.

Join our group facilitator with exciting activities and materials designed to promote social learning opportunities in a small group setting. This is a great way to get to know our space or learn some simple tips and ideas that you can incorporate into your everyday life.

This group is a great resource for families who are newly diagnosed and on a waitlist for services, or who have concerns about their child’s development but are on a waitlist for a diagnosis. We will be using the Help is in Your Hands resource, a product of the C-ESDM project developed by Sally Rogers and Aubyn Stahmer, and hands-on coaching with parent coach facilitator to help you learn how to implement ESDM strategies in your everyday life.

Work one on one with a parent coach to help you meet your goals for yourself and your child. Parent coaches work with you weekly or bi-weekly over a short or long term period to help you, manage challenging situations in your daily lives (e.g., dangerous behaviours, toilet training, etc.), connect and play with your child, and teach your child important skills. Some of our individualized parent coaching programs include:
