General Family Workshops are presented in a group that aims to develop
the participants’ understanding relating to the autism spectrum.
Presented by experienced professionals from across different teams
within the organisation, and with individuals on the autism spectrum,
participants will develop a greater understanding of many topics
through interactive, engaging and practical workshops. For free
sessions, participants must either be autistic or be a partner or a
family member of someone on the spectrum. In Focus Family Workshops
are unique workshops presented to small groups of participants by
relevant therapists, which allows for specific questions and scenarios
to be discussed. Sessions focus on a specific topic and aim to develop
the participants’ knowledge and understanding of that topic, and
provide participants with tailored strategies that can be used, and
relevant to the participants’ setting. NDIS funding may be used to
access these workshops. Please register online and complete all
additional questions regarding your, or your child/ren’s/family
members, NDIS plan. The Autism SA team will follow up if any
additional information is required. This workshop is specifically
