Concise Parent/Volunteer Training Programme

The primary purpose of this interactive training programme is to offer volunteers and parents in the children’s learning programme the fundamental skills for formulating a dynamic learning curriculum and working directly with autistic children.

In addition, parents who are attending the sessions for their own interactions with their children at home should also benefit from this session.
