Maltby centre - siblings & autism (4 sessions) - siblings
Maltby Centre is now offering a series of workshops for parents, caregivers, and youth! Our workshops are designed to help families understand concepts related to Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), access resources, and increase overall parent/ youth capacity. This workshop is for youth living in Ontario with a valid OAP registration number.

As part of foundational family services, you may choose to meet for an individual session with a family support coordinator after attending a workshop, to help you apply the workshop content to your specific family situation.

Having a sibling with autism can be a wonderful experience but sometimes it is beneficial to connect with other people in a similar situation to work through common situations and issues that may arise. Parents are not required to attend this workshop but should meet individually with the facilitators following the workshop to learn about the workshop content and strategies that may have been developed with their child regarding their sibling. This Sibling Workshop is for ages 13-18.

This is a 4 session series on Tuesdays from September 19th – October 10th, 2023

As a result of participating in this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Describe what Autism is
  • Understand how Autism may affect your sibling
  • Understand how your sibling may be affecting you
  • Learn to create strategies to help you cope with issues between yourself and your sibling

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.

Please note this workshop is only offered in English.

Please note registration closes September 12, 2023
