Wimbledon Library are pleased to host this information workshop for parents/carers on understanding autism.
'What is autism? Understanding your child’s neurodevelopmental profile’
This one-hour parent workshop will cover some foundational points of understanding around autism, along with providing practical support for everyday challenges.
Led by Clinical Psychologist Dr Anna Byrne-Smith, the session will cover some of the key traits associated with autism and ways that parents and caregivers can support with these.
We will also discuss the diagnosis of autism, what this means and how the assessment process works.
There will be opportunities for questions and discussion, with a focus on helping parents and caregivers better understand and support their child's unique needs.
The workshop is suitable for anyone parenting a child with confirmed or suspected autism, or those who would like to find out more.
Booking is essential to attend this event.
Join us for a participatory session connecting the radical tradition of Rough Music — street protest through noise, rhythm and improvised sound — with the familiar world of nursery rhymes. Inspired by E.P. Thompson's essay Rough Music Reconsidered, the work of Jack Zipes on nursery rhyme standards, and the Bonfire Society parades at the annual Bonfire Night in Lewes.
Families are welcomed in as the session builds. Spontaneous interjection and improvisation are actively encouraged. No instruments needed.Every participating child takes home a Rough Music Rhythm Reading Stick.
Baxterium, aka Peter Baxter of the project GLAM Racket, presents participatory family learning experiences that bring together music, literature, craft and cultural history. This workshop has been enjoyed by audiences at Manchester International Festival, Stoke Newington Literary Festival and Bloomsbury Festival, inviting children and adults to explore stories and creativity side by side through hands-on making and shared discovery.
