"Creating the Connections" for Woonsocket, Bristol, Warren, and Central Providence 

Thanks to a preschool development grant from the Woonsocket, Bristol, and Central Providence Health Equity Zones, The Autism Project is proud to offer the "Creating the Connections" workshop. You are eligible to take this FREE training if you are a parent or professional supporting a child from birth-5 years old in the following zip codes: 02908, 02909, 02895, 02885, 02809. 

We are specifically targeting these populations within the Bristol/Warren, Woonsocket, and Central Providence areas in order to educate, identify, and assess potential developmental delays. Our goal is to provide professionals with the tools to have difficult conversations with families, and we want to provide parents with the tools to have difficult conversations with their child's pediatrician. By increasing screenings, diagnoses, and placement for appropriate care, we may be able to reduce disparities for underserved children who are at risk of, or who may already have, an autism diagnosis. After all, we believe knowledge is power and education is intervention, especially when raising a child with autism or developmental delays.

November 1, 2021/ 5:30-7:30PM, EST: "Creating the Connections" : Based on the CDC’S “Learn the Signs. Act Early” evidence-based curriculum on developmental milestones, participants will review said milestones and discuss the importance of childhood development screening. Professionals and parents will learn practical strategies for providing structure and will discuss the importance of visual supports to encourage independence. Professionals will learn how to improve effective communication with concerned families and increase knowledge of available resources.
