Free Webinar | Effective communication strategies for little ones
When young children can’t find the words for what they’re feeling, behaviour becomes the message. For families of autistic children, understanding that message and knowing how to respond can change everything.
Join speech pathologist Sue Marden and behaviour support practitioner Natasha Kavalieros for a free, practical webinar on communication and behaviour support for autistic children aged 0–6. They will walk you through why young children experience big emotions and how to support emotional regulation.
You’ll learn:
• Why challenging behaviours sometimes happen and what they may be trying to communicate
• How to spot sensory triggers before they escalate
• When to seek support and from whom
• Practical strategies for home, childcare, and everyday routines
