The AEDC Strength-Based Parenting Program is an interactive 30-minute online training program funded by the Department of Social Services to support parents and caregivers of children on the autism spectrum.

Module 1 aims to support parents by navigating the diagnosis, identifying behaviours in developing children with autism and how to ‘see’ the holistic child through a ‘capable lens’.

Module 2 builds on parents’ strengths in managing behaviours by broadening the ‘capable lens’. Learn about your child’s challenging behaviour due to environment and their unique learning style, how to use a ‘capable lens’ and gain a perspective that ‘can’t’ does not equal to ‘won’t’.

Module 3 provides tools for parents to cope during stressful times. Accepting the impacts of autism on parents and family relations as well as practical strategies for parents.
