Why Use Visual Supports?

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 online workshop is for parents 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.

In this workshop, participants will receive a short presentation on the use of visual supports to help teach children/youth with ASD, skills, and independence. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and participate in group discussions.

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

• Describe what visual supports are.
• Explain why visual supports can help your child/youth learn new skills or develop independence.
• Identify how to use visual supports to aid in your child/youth’s development.

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.
