Skills Through Play – North Shore & Manurewa

Join us at our “Skills Through Play” playgroup sessions hosted by Children’s Autism Foundation Family Consultants, Emma Bartlett & Khadijah Sharif.

Running from 10am to 11am, these relaxed sessions are an opportunity to learn about play & communication for your pre-schooler with ASD.

The play environment provides opportunities for practicing skills like language and socialisation. Being able to play teaches children important lessons about the world and how to get along with people.

These playgrops are a great opportunity for parents or caregivers to ask questions and meet other families/whanau with children on the Autism Spectrum.  We will have tea & coffee available but feel free to bring a snack & drink for your child or children.

Suitable for preschool children up to 6 years old and must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver.

Playgroups will run monthly starting February 2021:

NORTH SHORE – Birkdale Community House

SOUTH AUCKLAND – Te Whare Awhina, Manurewa

Cost: by gold donation
