Autism-Deaf training session
Geneva Centre for Autism is proud to present this unique 3-hour training session on Wednesday November 21st from 9:30am – 12:30pm – either live in person at Geneva Centre, or via webinar. This workshop was developed to give some insight into the challenges of helping children and adults with the dual diagnosis of autism and deafness. Autism and deafness mirror each other in the early years and this makes an accurate diagnosis very difficult at a time when parents desperately need support.
Attached please find the flyer for the training session, as well below please find the link for registration and session information. Please share this information with any clients or staff who you believe might be interested in the session. If you have any questions, please let me know.
