Dear Parents...
Imagine having somewhere to learn and reflect deeply about raising an autistic child and a community to check in with when you’re feeling a little overwhelmed.
The Onwards and Upwards Psychology, eight-week online course: ‘Raising an Autistic Child, Authentically’ brings you the latest knowledge on raising an autistic child and connects you with other parents and caregivers going through the same things you are.
The course will help you deepen your translation of what autism is, and you’ll learn to understand why your child does things the way they do.

-
Get the most up-to-date information about autism and understand how to discuss neurodiversity.

-
Have a safe space to feel understood, heard, and respected.
-
Learn how to make small changes that make a big difference to your family life.

Gain practical support.
