SUMMARY:"Phrased & Confused" A Fun Workshop All About Idioms
DESCRIPTION:If you wanted to do something outside\, but now it’s “raining cats and dogs” and your friend said they’d go out in the rain “when pigs fly” we would understand if you were confused. \n\n\n\nPhrases of Confusion (also known as idioms) are multi-word expressions that have non-literal meanings\, which can often only be figured out by using contextual information. \n\n\n\nIdioms can be heard everywhere: in the workplace\, at school\, at the local bar\, and even at home. Each language has its own set of unique idioms\, but they don’t often translate well. And\, if you aren’t familiar with them\, they can leave a person feeling very confused. \n\n\n\nUnfortunately\, the literal meaning is never the correct meaning of what the speaker is trying to get across. \n\n\n\nGood communication is already difficult enough for some Autistic individuals\, so finding a solution for learning idioms is important. \n\n\n\nIn this fun and interactive session\, participants will learn about and discuss some common idiomatic expressions and be able to understand and identify idioms\, learning tips\, and strategies to predict the meanings of many of them. \n\n\n\nThursday\, September 12\, 2024 \n\n\n\n4:00 – 5:00 p.m. at The Ability Hub (300\, 3820 24th Avenue NW) \n\n\n\nor Online via Sinneave Connects \n\n\n\nIf you already have a Sinneave Connects account\, just log in as usual. If you haven’t yet opened a FREE account\, it’s easy! Click on the words that say\, “Sinneave Connects” below to be directed to the portal. \n\n\n\n\nPick a user name\n\n\n\nPick a password\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nSelect the “Phrased & Confused – September 12” event to access the online link\n\n\n\n\nSinneave Connects\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter: \n\n\n\nSherry Taylor is a Program Coordinator with the EmploymentWorks program at Sinneave and is passionate about developing fun and engaging curriculum and content for Autistic youth & adults. With more than 15 years experience in the not-for-profit sector\, she loves empowering people to reach their full potential by giving them practical tools for navigating daily life. \n\n\n\nIf you have questions about this event or need technical support navigating Sinneave Connects\, please email us at info@sinneavefoundation.org or call 403 210-5000.
