SUMMARY:Welcome to Autism: First Steps with Jenn
DESCRIPTION:SESSION INFO: « Back to all events\nJoin the ASN’s Executive Director in this monthly\, online meeting to talk about the first steps in your young child’s Autism journey. \nWhere do you start? \nHow can the Autism Support Network help you? \nThe weeks and months after receiving a diagnosis for your child can be overwhelming. It is hard to know what to do first; conflicting information can make it difficult and confusing to get started with effective intervention you feel good about. \nJenn will share resources vetted by the Autism Support Network with you that will help you make a meaningful action plan. Learn why we follow the research and work with certified service providers licensed and bound by a solid code of ethics. \nPlease note that this presentation is geared toward younger children with new diagnoses. If you have an older child\, or are facing challenges with school\, transition planning or ongoing behavioural supports\, please contact us directly for 1:1 assistance. info@autismsupportbc.ca. \n  \nCLICK TO REGISTER\n  \nMeet Your Facilitator: \nJenn is the mother of 2 autistic children. Her older child was diagnosed at age 3 in the US\, and her younger one was diagnosed at age 5 in Canada. For the past decade since Immigration\, Jenn has been focused on Individualized\, evidence-based therapies for both of her kids in both public and independent schooling. Her advocacy background includes meeting with MLAs\, organizing protests\, letter-writing campaigns\, public speaking\, media and social media\, and experience with the BC Human Rights Tribunal. Jenn is one of the founding co-creators of BCEdAccess’ Exclusion Tracker\, which is for parents to report when their disabled children are denied an equitable education\, and one of the founding co-creators of the Parents & Professionals Plan\, which is advocating at the Provincial level to expand and reform the Individualized Funding program for disabled youth. She is particularly passionate about the different legal protections and services between the two countries and the implications for the long-term prospects of Canadian children. Her current focus is parents with newly-diagnosed children\, and has made it a personal goal to “meet these parents where they are at”\, connect and educate them on their rights. \n  \n
