Waiting for Assessment Workshop (Postponed)

Program Update: Waiting for Assessment Workshop

We are currently revamping our Waiting for Assessment Workshop to ensure it provides the most accessible and inclusive experience for participants. Due to facilitator availability and our commitment to delivering comprehensive and supportive content, we are postponing future workshops until Spring 2025.

This pause will allow us to reimagine the workshop in a way that better meets the needs of families waiting for autism assessments, ensuring we deliver information and support that is both meaningful and impactful.

What You Can Expect in the Revamped Workshop:

• A more accessible and inclusive approach to workshop delivery.
• Up-to-date information to empower families during the autism assessment process.
• Opportunities to connect with others in the autism community.

In the Meantime:

• Families and caregivers can still access personalized support through our regional coordinators via our information request system.
• We also invite you to join our monthly peer support groups (Meets) on Zoom, where you can connect with others navigating similar journeys.

We appreciate your patience as we work to enhance this program. Stay tuned for updates on the new launch date and registration details in Spring 2025.

If you have any questions or need immediate support, please reach out to us.
