Friendships Skills

Thanks to the support of the Auckland Council, we are pleased to be able to run our popular JOIN In programme, in 2014.  The JOIN in programme concentrates on social and friendship skills.  In term 1 the programme will be located at the Freemans Bay and Ponsonby Community Centres and in Terms 3 & 4, the JOIN in programme will be expanding to further regions in the North and South of Auckland.

The programme is aimed at children with Aspergers/High Functioning autism, who are verbal enough to participate in a small group. Please note the programme runs over 10 weeks and the sessions include at least one parent for each child.  We will be running 3 groups, with 4 children per group: 7/8 year olds, 12/14 year olds and 14/16 year olds.

To apply for a place in this programme please email your names, age of child, contact details and the reason you would like to join the course to admin@autism.org.nz . We have availability in Terms 2, 3 & 4 in 2014.

Help us by donating today! All donations go directly to making a difference for the families we support.
