WEBINAR: MASTERING Self-Determination & Self-Advocacy with Barb Cook Thursday 28 May 2020

Neurodivergent people often experience challenges in exercising skills associated with self-determination and self-advocacy, being pinnacle life skills that drive their success in education, employment, independence and within society.

This webinar will explore the barriers experienced and will provide practical tools, tips and strategies for teachers, employers, allied health professionals, neurodivergent people, their parents, support workers and carers.

This Thursday! Link in bio. WEBINAR: Workplace S This Thursday! Link in bio. WEBINAR: Workplace Social Skills for People on the Autism Spectrum with Barb Cook Thursday 21st May 2020 Effective workplace social skills are considered as an essential skill to maintaining a happy working relationship with co-workers, supervisors and employers. Many of these skills place value in small talk, eye contact, body language, socialising, being confident, and being yourself. This places enormous stress upon people on the autism spectrum, leaving them feeling confused, challenged and anxious at having to navigate the workplace social nuances, that often results in alienation, misunderstandings and potential job loss. This webinar provides valuable insights, tools and strategies on how to navigate the workplace social expectations, implement inclusive practices and adopt collaborative approaches for autistic and neurodivergent people, co-workers, workplace supervisors and management, employers, employment agencies, parents, teachers and support staff. #autism #autistic #neurodivergent #workplace #socialskills #employment https://barbcook.com.au/product/webinar-workplace-social-skills-for-people-on-the-autism-spectrum-with-barb-cook-thursday-21st-may-2020/

Link in Bio. ON DEMAND VIDEO Relationships & the Link in Bio. ON DEMAND VIDEO Relationships & the Autism Spectrum with Barb Cook & Yenn Purkis Barb and Yenn's live webinar is now available On Demand through Vimeo so you can watch this information packed 2.5 hour recording at anytime, and anywhere in the world. About the presentation.... Length: 2 Hours 37 Minutes 0:00:00 Romantic Relationships 01:22:23 Relationships with Family 01:45:23 Relationships at Work 01:58:42 Relationships and the Autism Community 02:12:42 Relationships with Self Relationships come in many forms. These can be friendships, romantic and intimate or these relationships can be part of our everyday lives when we are at work with bosses and colleagues or in an educational setting at school or uni. A commonality of these relationships is there usually is more than one person involved and requires navigation of the hidden expectations and dynamics of interaction and connection with other people. In this webinar, Barb and Yenn will explore the various types of relationships, what the expectations are, and how neurodiverse people can express their needs and understanding of how they experience connecting with other people. Some of the topics covered are the dynamics of friendships, romantic encounters and expectations in intimate relationships, redefining what a healthy relationship is, safety, bullying, harassment and understanding the unique needs for satisfying companionship. Barb and Yenn will explore workplace and educational relationships and how to self-advocate in having needs met, to feel supported in an inclusive environment and to gain insight into how to work towards meaningful relationships with others. #autism #relationships #neurodivergent #autistic #asd #romantic #employment #family #friendship #companion #neurodiversity #love #passion #socialskills #aspergers #sex #sensory #noises #differentkindoflove #soulmate #intimacy #touch

So I apprehensively open and peer around the door to see a very happy lady holding out a bunch of flowers for me. I was in shock and said for me? So I opened the card and it was from my lovely work team at Minds & Hearts Clinic for my birthday this week. This so made my day. I do love flowers I must say and what an awesome team I work with 💜
