Autism Services – Play To Grow

Parents and caregivers will have the opportunity to discover fun and creative ways to engage with their child during play.

Maltby Centre is now offering a series of online workshops for parents and caregivers! These workshops are designed to help parents understand concepts related to Applied Behaviour Analysis, access resources, and increase overall parent capacity. This online workshop is for parents living in Ontario with a valid OAP registration number.

This workshop is designed for parents and caregivers who would like to learn more ways to use play with their child to facilitate learning. Parents and caregivers will have the opportunity to discover fun and creative ways to be engaged with their child during play while focusing on specific learning goals. As part of Foundational Family Services, you may choose to meet for an individual session with a Family Support Coordinator following this presentation to help you apply the content of this workshop to your specific family situation.

As a result of participating in this workshop parents and caregivers will be able to:

• Describe the stages of play throughout child development
• Explain how play may be different for children with ASD and specifically for their child
• Describe ways to enhance child’s environment for each stage of play

Requirements: To access this workshop, or a follow-up session, you will need a valid Ontario Autism Program Reference number. If you do not have an OAP Reference number please contact the Maltby Centre at 613-546-8535 and ask to speak to a Family Support Coordinator. This is a free workshop.
