SUMMARY:Phrased & Confused: All about idioms and confusing phrases
DESCRIPTION:Idioms–or confusing phrases–are commonly used expressions that have a non-literal meaning\, which can often only be understood by using contextual information.  \n\n\n\nPeople use idioms all the time in everyday conversation\, but the literal meaning of the words is almost never the intended meaning. For Autistic individuals who find good communication challenging at the best of times\, these phrases can leave you feeling very confused. \n\n\n\nThe good news is we can help! In this fun and engaging workshop\, participants will learn how to identify and understand some common idiomatic expressions\, giving them tools to be better able to predict the meanings of these confusing phrases. \n\n\n\nEven if it’s raining cats and dogs\, plan to attend. It will be a piece of cake and you’ll laugh your head off! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, June 54:00 – 5:00 p.m.In-person at The Ability Hub (300\, 3820 24 Avenue NW) \n\n\n\nThere is no cost for this workshop and advance registration is not required. We encourage you to bring a friend and just show up. If you have any questions\, please contact us at info@sinneavefoundation.org or call us at 403 210-5000. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the presenter: Sherry Taylor has more than 15 years of experience in the not-for-profit industry. She is the EmploymentWorks Program Coordinator at Sinneave and is passionate about developing engaging content and curriculum that educates and makes learning fun for Autistic youth and adults.

SUMMARY:Actions Speak Louder Than Words: Tips & Strategies for interpreting non-verbal cues
DESCRIPTION:If interpreting non-verbal social cues and body language is challenging for you\, we can help! In this fun and engaging workshop participants will use “Body Language Decoder Cards” to help learn\, understand and interpret basic body language and social cues.  \n\n\n\nFor context\, it’s thought that up to 90% of communication is non-verbal in nature. Body language\, facial expressions and unwritten social rules can be difficult to interpret for many Autistic and neurodivergent people\, leaving them feeling disconnected in social settings.  \n\n\n\nYou’re invited to start building a foundation for better communication here.  \n\n\n\nThursday\, May 224:00 – 5:00 p.m.In-person at The Ability Hub (300\, 3820 24 Ave NW) *As this workshop is interactive and involves practicing the strategies learned\, we are limiting participation to in-person only at this time.  \n\n\n\nThere is no cost to attend and advance registration is not required. Mark your calendar and plan to join us for a fun and productive hour.  \n\n\n\nAbout the presenter: \n\n\n\nSherry Taylor has more than 15 years of experience in the non-profit sector. She is the Coordinator of Sinneave’s EmploymentWorks program as well as an employment coach and workshop facilitator extraordinaire! She is passionate about developing curriculum and content that engages\, entertains and educates.
