For over 25 years this special event has offered grandparents the opportunity to chat and share with others who understand the unique joys and challenges of having an Autistic grandchild. It’s also an opportunity to hear speaker(s) with expertise in Autism discuss a particular topic.

Our Topic for the morning, by popular demand,

Autism in the Pre-teen/Teen Years!!

 Even if your grandchild is still young, they do grow up so fast!

This is something you won’t want to miss!

 With our speakers: Mary Fox, Co-Executive Director of CAR and

Sarah Walkden, Program Coordinator for the CAR GAP program.

 Adolescence brings many changes, and grandparents often play an important role in supporting autistic youth during this stage of development. Our speakers will explore key topics including puberty, evolving social relationships, and emotional regulation. Participants will gain practical strategies, increased understanding, and tools to help support their grandchild and to strengthen their connection, communication, with them during the teen years.
