Training

These workshops are specifically designed for the parents, siblings, or extended family of an individual with autism who want to learn more about the condition of autism (including the entire autism spectrum disorder and Asperger’s syndrome). SACCADE™ workshops are unique in that they explain autism from the inside out, including how autism shapes the experiences of an individual living with the condition. The workshops provide insights into what can be perceived from the outside (such as particular behaviors) and guide the type of the work that should be done to best accompany an autistic individual throughout their life.

The Family Workshop Track is designed and paced specifically to suit a family’s everyday needs. Each workshop is led by SACCADE™ clinic professionals who work alongside autistic people and their families. The language and content used by the instructors is easy to understand and includes concrete examples specifically related to everyday family life.

Please note:  The workshops must be taken in numerical order.
