Positive Partnerships is back!

Workshop: 2014ACTPC1 Location: Canberra

The Positive Partnerships initiatives have been developed and delivered by Partnerships between Education and

the Autism Community (PEAC) and funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, through

the Helping Children with Autism package. This workshop is the first of two workshops being held in the ACT this

year. The second workshop is planned to be on the Southside around September 2014.

What will you learn?

Positive Partnerships has been facilitating workshops in the ACT since 2008. As per previous workshops

parents/carers that participate in the workshops and information sessions will gain:

• a greater understanding of the impact of autism on your child, both at school and at home

• knowledge about how to develop effective parent, school and teacher partnerships

• specific strategies on how to:

• advocate for your child

• support your child’s participation at school

• develop an awareness of ongoing learning needs

• information about your local school system’s processes

• opportunities to network and share strategies with other parents/carers and key community members

• opportunities for discussion around a range of topics relevant to students with ASD and their families

Some key community representatives that support families living with autism will be identified and invited to

participate in the workshop with a view to supporting a community focus beyond the workshop.
