Waiting for Assessment Workshop

Do you wonder if your child may be autistic? Are you feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information available online? Do you want to meet others who are also starting their own journeys? If you answered yes to any of those questions, we encourage you to register for our Waiting for Assessment workshop.

It was developed specifically for parents and caregivers and is often a family’s first point of contact with the autism community.  

The goal of our workshop is to provide families with the tools they need to prepare themselves and their child to understand autism and be prepared for the assessment process. 

  • Overview information about autism, 
  • How your family can prepare for an autism assessment, 
  • What you can do while you are waiting,  
  • The pros and cons of public and private assessments and diagnoses, 
  • What to expect after the assessment and after the diagnosis,
  • Tips on support strategies, how to talk to friends and family, etc.

We encourage parents and caregivers who are considering, pursuing, or awaiting an autism assessment for a child in British Columbia to attend our workshop. 

Note: This program is currently paused with an expected relaunch in 2026.
