As a parent or caregiver of an autistic child, you want to ensure that your child is receiving the best support possible and making meaningful progress in their development.

Karen McKinnon (Psychologist and National Clinical Director) and Louise Baldwin (Clinical Director – NSW) will provide you with a better understanding of meaningful progress and the tools to help you evaluate how your child is going with any ongoing intervention/therapy. The talk will cover:

• Meaningful progress – what does it look like? Some key indicators to look out for.
• Your child’s profile – and what their learning needs may be.
• 5 main factors that influence the effectiveness of early intervention.
• When might more intensive support be beneficial?
• Learn about funding options when your child needs additional support.

At the end of the talk, you will have a better understanding of how to evaluate your child’s progress and make informed decisions about their support. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions.
