LONG DISTANCE PARENT GROUPS
Many parents need support but, due to long distances, it's not possible for them to join our regular groups. For this reason, we have created the long distance parent group.
Objectives:
♥ Information regarding autism: What exactly is the matter with our child? What are its needs?
♥ Encouragement of therapeutic play that leads the child to sociability, reciprocity, contact and communication. It enables us to enjoy our child daily.
♥ Meeting other parents: no one is ever alone. By sharing in each other's problems, we alleviate our own struggles.
♥ Practical solutions to day-to-day problems, priorities: what do we forbid, what do we permit, how can we direct a situation so that the child understands our expectations?
♥ Setting goals for the child as well as the parent.
♥ Exchange of ideas and opinions
♥ Guidance and assistance
♥ How we can feel calm and well, in order to be more effective
