SUMMARY:Actions Speak Louder Than Words: Interpreting body language and reading social cues
DESCRIPTION:Up to 90% of our communication is non-verbal. For people who struggle to read social cues and interpret body language\, this statistic can be daunting. How can you communicate well if you have a hard time understanding non-verbal communication?\n\nIf you find interpreting body language and visual cues challenging\, you don’t have to be left out of social situations. There are ways to learn these skills!\n\nJoin us for a fun and interactive session intended to help autistic and neurodivergent individuals become more aware of body language and its real-world benefits.\n\nAttendees will be able to grasp and interpret basic body language\, which will help improve both social and communication skills. Together\, we’ll explore some of the most important non-verbal cues–those with both positive and negative connotations–and practice interpreting and understanding body language and unspoken messages.\n\nParticipants will also learn about the ways they hold their own bodies and the unintended messages they may be sending\, and making adjustments to appear more positive\, engaging and approachable.\n\nPlease note: During this session\, Sinneave staff\, guest presenters\, and attendees may share information about community resources. Information provided may not always be accurate\, up-to-date\, or reliable. Attendees are encouraged to be critical consumers of information available on the internet. Providing information about a community resource is not endorsement and Sinneave does not assume any risk for the outcome of using the information shared during this session.\n\nThursday\, April 18\, 2024\n\n4:00 – 5:00 p.m.\n\nIn-person at The Ability Hub (300\, 3820 24 Ave NW)\n\nWhile attending in person may seem intimidating\, it’s a great way to meet new people\, connect with peers and practice practical skills. If you are unable to attend in person\, you can also attend virtually through Sinneave Connects\, our online learning platform.\n\nIf you already have a Sinneave Connects account\, just log in as usual. If you haven’t yet opened an account\, it’s easy! Click the button below that says\, “Actions Speak Louder Than Words” to be directed to the portal and follow the prompts.\n\n 	Pick a user name\n 	Pick a password\n 	Select “Register”\n 	Choose “Actions Speak Louder Than Words” and enroll.\n\nActions Speak Louder Than Words \n\nPlease note: While advance registration is not necessary for most of our Learning & Connection activities (you are welcome to just pop-in)\, IF you do pre-register it helps us in our planning AND allows us to notify you in the event of a last-minute change or cancellation. Either way\, we’d love to see you!\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter: Sherry Taylor has over 15 years of experience in the not-for-profit industry. She currently is the Program Coordinator with the EmploymentWorks program at Sinneave. She started working with the EW Online program and made the transition to the in-person program continuously developing curriculum and content for Autistic youth\, adults\, and persons with disabilities\, and professionals.\n\nIf you have any questions about this session\, please contact us by emailing info@sinneavefoundation.org or calling 403 210-5000.\n\nP.S. Did you know there’s a quick access button to Sinneave Connects in the upper right corner of our Homepage.

SUMMARY:The Art of Parenting...with Autism
DESCRIPTION:Our next Art of Parenting…with Autism group meets Thursday\, March 21 from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. online via Sinneave Connects. \nEach Art of Parenting session focuses on different aspects of parenting through the lens of being autistic and/or parenting Autistic children. Through a short presentation\, discussion and activities\, participants will receive encouragement\, support and practical short and long term strategies for navigating parenting in the healthiest way possible\, with a focus on self-care and compassion. \nThis particular session will offer advice and provide strategies on how to help pre-teens and teenagers through the hormonal chaos we’ve all been through at one point in our lives. The teen years can be a confusing time for kids and parents both. An autism diagnosis can sometimes add to the complexities\, making managing the hormonal and emotional chaos even more challenging. We will discuss what coping\, caring and compassion look like in the midst of the chaos. \nThese sessions intend to educate\, empower and encourage parents on their journey\, as well as create a safe community of ongoing support. Participants will benefit from the practical information provided each session as well as the connection of others who share similar experiences. \nDuring this session\, Sinneave staff\, guest presenters\, and attendees may share information about community resources. Information provided may not always be accurate\, up-to-date\, or reliable. Attendees are encouraged to be critical consumers of information available on the internet. Providing information about a community resource is not endorsement and Sinneave does not assume any risk for the outcome of using the information shared during this session. \nThis session is FREE and entirely virtual\, via our Sinneave Connects online learning platform. \nIf you already have a Sinneave Connects account\, just log in as usual. If you haven’t yet opened an account\, it’s easy!

SUMMARY:Celebrating Autism during Neurodiversity Celebration Week
DESCRIPTION:We’re kicking off Neurodiversity Celebration Week with a celebration of all things Autism and you’re invited!\n\nWhen we read or search about Autism online\, one thing we notice is that a lot of the information uses negative-based and disability-focused language. Words like “inflexible”\, “rigid”\, “lack of” and “difficulty “are commonly found alongside the definitions of Autism.\n\nHowever\, we know that the medical model of disability which uses those terms doesn’t tell the whole story.\n\nAt The Sinneave Family Foundation\, we are focused on changing the perception and language around Autism\, starting with celebrating the many positive traits and characteristics common among Autistics and empowering those individuals to embrace who they are and what they have to offer.\n\nIn this celebration\, we will shift the views on Autism towards the positives\, amplify the strength and vibrancy of the Autistic culture\, and ways we can support Autism inclusion in the workplace and in life. The event will include a short presentation\, information sharing\, and discussion in a safe and welcoming small group environment.\n\nTuesday\, March 19\, 2024\n\n4:00 – 5:00 p.m.\n\nat The Ability Hub (300\, 3820 24th Avenue NW Calgary\, AB) OR virtually via Sinneave Connects\, our online learning platform.\n\nIf you already have a Sinneave Connects account\, just log in as usual. If you haven’t yet opened an account\, it’s easy! Click the button below that says\, “Celebrating Autism! – Jan 4” to be directed to the portal and follow the prompts.\n\n 	Pick a user name\n 	Pick a password (Don’t forget to record it somewhere safe for next time!)\n 	Select “Register”\n 	Choose “Celebrating Autism! – Mar 19” and enroll.\n\nCelebrating Autism! – Mar 19\n\nPlease note: While advance registration is not necessary for most of our Learning & Connection activities (you are welcome to just pop-in)\, IF you do pre-register it helps us in our planning AND allows us to notify you in the event of a last-minute change or cancellation. Either way\, we’d love to see you!\n\nAbout the Presenter: Sherry Taylor has over 15 years of experience in the not-for-profit industry. She currently is the Program Coordinator with the EmploymentWorks program at Sinneave. She started working with the EW Online program and made the transition to the in-person program continuously developing curriculum and content for Autistic youth\, adults\, and persons with disabilities\, and professionals.\n\nIf you have any questions about this session\, please contact us by emailing info@sinneavefoundation.org or calling 403 210-5000.\n\nP.S. Did you know there’s a quick access button to Sinneave Connects in the upper right corner of our Homepage.

SUMMARY:Visioning: Creating a Blueprint for Your Life
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that visualizing life events and outcomes can increase your confidence? \nResearch shows that imagining or “seeing” yourself succeed helps you believe that it can–and will–happen. When you imagine taking steps through an event or activity and it goes well\, your mind and body get ready to take those steps in real life. \nIn this great session\, we’ll discuss the importance of Visioning and how it helps to create a positive self-image. Participants will learn about the power of thought and imagination and how increased confidence can help you take reasonable action steps towards making the vision and goals for your life a reality. Attendees will also be creating vision boards to take home. \nVision boards are tactile and visual tools to help you set goals around your education\, career\, family\, relationships\, and more. The images you choose can help represent what you’d like your life to look like. Creating a vision board can help you figure out what’s really important to you\, which can help to inform your future steps. Displaying your vision board in a place where you regularly see it can be a great reminder of those things in your daily life. \nYou’re invited to join us Thursday\, February 8\, 2024 from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. \nDue to the interactive nature of this event\, it is offered in-person only at The Ability Hub (300\, 3820 24 Avenue NW) \nTo ensure we have enough supplies you must register in advance to reserve your spot. There are only 10 spots\, so don’t delay. \nIf you already have a Sinneave Connects account\, just log in as usual and enroll in the course. If this is the first time you’ve used Sinneave Connects\, you will need to create a free account. It’s as easy as 1\, 2\, 3\, 4… \n\nCreate a Username\nCreate a password (remember to keep it someplace safe for next time)\nSelect “Register”\nChoose the “Visioning: Creating a Blueprint for your Life – Feb 8” session\n\nVisioning: Creating a Blueprint for your Life – Feb 8 \n  \nAbout the Presenter:\nCedric Nicholson is a certified professional executive and life coach with 20 years of working with people who have various disabilities and 7 years working specifically with individuals on the spectrum.
