We no longer receive the Government support which allowed us to offer our events at a significantly reduced cost. We are still committed to running events at as affordable of a price as we can for Autistic people and their families but have had to increase our ticket prices to help cover our costs and are no longer able to offer a free ticket option.
If you are facing significant financial hardship or other marginalising circumstances, and this topic is of particular relevance to you please email learning@reframingautism.org.au.
We’re proud to offer a range of event types, and aim to cater to a range of learning styles.
Some of the event types we offer include:
Masterclasses: Events on specific (focused) topics presented from an evidence or research perspective. In masterclasses, subject matter experts (often researchers) share their knowledge on, and current evidence about, a topic with attendees via a formal presentation. There may or may not be time for discussion and questions, and the focus of the masterclass is to learn from those with a deep expertise in that topic. Masterclasses assume a solid level of knowledge about Autism from a neuro-affirming perspective, and are not suitable as an introduction to Autism broadly.
Community Workshops: Interactive, educational sessions about practical topics impacting day-to-day life, presented by community members with lived experience expertise. In workshops a facilitator or panel will share their lived experience in a variety of possible ways, including a presentation, activities, reflections, and skills application. Workshops are usually less formal, with more possibility to discuss and ask questions.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD): CPD events focus on topics of relevance to professionals and clinicians working with the Autistic community, presented by professional peers or researchers. Topics may be broad and suitable for a range of professionals (e.g., Autistic sensory processing), or more specific and targeted at particular groups of clinicians (e.g., teaching non-autistic social skills respectfully to Autistic children). CPDs generally assume at least a basic level of understanding about Autism from a neuro-affirming perspective, and include both theoretical and practical information to participants. A professional development certificate will be issued after attendance at the CPD has been confirmed.
The Reframing Autism team would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we have the privilege to learn, work, and grow. Whilst we gather on many different parts of this Country, the RA team walk on the land of the Amangu, Awabakal, Bindjareb, Birpai, Whadjak, Wiradjuri and Yugambeh peoples.
We are committed to honouring the rich culture of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this Country, and the diversity and learning opportunities with which they provide us. We extend our gratitude and respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and to all Elders past and present, for their wisdom, their resilience, and for helping this Country to heal.
