Studies show that children perform better at school, have fewer absences and behavioral concerns, and graduate at higher rates when families are engaged. Serving on Groups is a nationally recognized leadership tool that empowers family members to actively and fully participate in decision-making groups, such as their child’s IEP team, school advisory council or other government councils. Sections 7 and 8 provide helpful tools for staying organized while participating in a group as well as discuss important skills, such as facilitation and conflict management, to succeed as a family representative.

This multi-session support group is designed for parents/family members of Autistic adults and teens with who are transgender or who are exploring or questioning their gender identity. Gender identity is distinct from sexual orientation or preference. Gender identity is one’s innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both or neither–how individuals perceive themselves and what they call themselves. Autistic individuals may be more likely to identify with a gender/s that is different than the sex assigned at birth. The intersection of these two identities is common, but not often talked about in the same space. When an adult child questions their gender identity parents are often initially overwhelmed by questions and concerns, and more questions may surface as their child continues on their journey. This is not a therapeutic support group.

This workshop will explore strategies for professionals to build family partnerships and highlight best practices for building trust. Attendees will learn how to help families create a neurodiversity-affirming framework to better understand Autistic motivations and untangle common causes that may be underlying an individual’s actions. We will review the impact of parental stress and the need to emphasize self-care for caregivers. This workshop is for professionals working with families of Autistic loved ones, but anyone interested is welcome.
