  • Support Group for Fathers of Autistic Individuals

    Fathers’ Group is a place where fathers can share their experiences, support one another, and build their toolbox to parent more confidently. We will be having a good conversation over Zoom.

    Parenting can be demanding, frustrating, and at times stressful long after the child is grown. Autistic children can often have unique challenges. Parent Support Groups provide feedback, support, and perspective from peers on a variety of common issues. Groups are meant strictly for parents and do not include the Autistic child.

  • Workshop – The Employment Journey: Supporting Your Neurodivergent Teen or Young Adult

    Sometimes it can be difficult to know how much to support your children into work. You might get some push back from them, but if you can demonstrate that you are helping them to become more independent by having some money coming in for the things they would like to buy, or so that they can one-day live independently, they might be more receptive. This session will give you tips to help you as a parent to support your child in identifying their strengths, help them understand how to self-advocate for their needs and what kind of jobs they can start applying for straight away.

  • Workshop – Gender Identity & Autism

    Transgender and Non-Binary individuals are 4-6 times more likely to be Autistic than the cisgender population. In this workshop, we explore this intersection by increasing cultural awareness, literacy, and knowledge about gender identity, discuss gender transition and gender affirming care for Autistic people, and think critically about our role in supporting transgender, Autistic individuals.

  • Tech tools for job success

    Join us for this workshop to learn about technology that can help teens and adults with disabilities build the skills they need to get and keep a job. Participants will see demos of apps and devices that can support them through managing time, staying organized, and getting tasks done — like alarms, calendars, to-do lists, reminders, and task directions. They'll also explore how executive function tools like these can help them gain more confidence and succeed at work.

    If an ASL interpreter is required, please notify workshops@pacer.org at least 48 hours prior to the workshop. We will do our best to accommodate your request.
