This event has passed Get tickets

Event description

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.


Girls on the spectrum can present with a different profile from that of their male peers and are four times less likely to be diagnosed on the autism spectrum than boys. This can mean that girls on the spectrum are misunderstood, and don’t receive the most appropriate supports for their particular needs.

This session looks at a range of topics including:

  • Differences in making a diagnosis;
  • Passions and interests;
  • Social and communication skills;
  • Developing friendship skills;
  • Internal anxiety and depression;
  • Using their strengths to build self-esteem;
  • Bullying; and
  • Menstruation and dating.
