Spaces left for Join In Programme in Term 1 & 2, 2015 – Be quick
The Children’s Autism Foundation ‘Join In’ friendship and social skills programme is proving to be very successful and very sought after. We are fortunate to be able to offer another 2 groups in term 1, 2015.
We are running a 10 week social/friendship skills course for children with Asperger’s or high functioning Autism. We are looking for children for this group between 7 and 16 years old.
The sessions are at Freemans Bay Community centre on Wednesday afternoons from 4pm till 5.30 pm or in Ponsonby on Saturday mornings. Each session requires at least one parent/caregiver for each child. Please note the programme runs over 9 weeks and we have a follow up session with you in the next school term. When you attend with your child, you can learn skills to use in the home situation and also discuss issues with other parents and get tips and tricks from each other and from our family consultant.
The Children’s Autism Foundation works hard to attract grants and donations so we can sponsor families into programmes such as ‘Join In’.
We are thankful to our sponsorship from ‘Pub Charity” to be able to offer this 10 week programme to families for $150 (the full cost of the Programme is $1,800/family). If you would like to apply to be one of the 8 spaces available in Term 1 of 2015, please contact us asap to be put on our waitlist. This can be done via our website ‘contact us’ form or email admin@autism.org.nz .
If you are interested or have further questions, please send your names, ages, contact details and why you would like to join the programme to our family consultant Arletta van den Bosch at admin@autism.org.nz (09) 415 7406.
