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.

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!

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.

SUMMARY:Celebrating Autism!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this one-hour session celebrating all things Autism! \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. \nHowever\, we know that the medical model of disability which uses those terms doesn’t tell the whole story. \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. \nIn this session\, 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. \nThursday\, January 4\, 2024 \n4:30 – 5:30 p.m. \nat The Ability Hub (300\, 3820 24th Avenue NW Calgary\, AB)  \nThis one-hour session is FREE and available both in person or virtually via Sinneave Connects\, our 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! Click the button below that says\, “Celebrating Autism! – Jan 4” to be directed to the portal and follow the prompts. \n\nPick a user name\nPick a password (Don’t forget to record it somewhere safe for next time!)\nSelect “Register”\nChoose “Celebrating Autism! – Jan 4” and enroll.\n\nCelebrating Autism! – Jan 4 \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.
