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.

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.
