Are you looking for an introductory course to learn about autism?

Framework for Autism in New Zealand (FANZ) is the ideal course for autistic adults, family/whānau, or a professional working with autistic people.

In the two day course you'll increase your understanding of autism and learn practical strategies to enhance the lives and maximise opportunities for autistic kids and adults.

Maybe you or your loved one has been recently diagnosed. Maybe you're a teacher wanting to learn strategies to support neurodivergent students. Maybe you have autistic staff and you want to be the best manager you can be. Whatever the reason, FANZ is an excellent first step on your autism journey.

In 2025, we'll have in-person courses from Auckland to Dunedin, and everywhere in between. These courses do sell out, so make sure you register now by heading to https://autismnz.org.nz/programmes

"Your online seminars are very useful and easy for my family to access. They provide a good opportunity to access professional advice."

If you haven't had a chance to attend one of Abilityworx - Nan Jensen's popular legal webinars, here's your opportunity.

Nan is running a Zoom webinar on legal issues in education on 16 October at 11:30am.

This is designed for parents of disabled students who are concerned with the support entitlement for their child in New Zealand mainstream or special schools.

This seminar explores enrolment rights, decision processes around special education, processes around an ORS funding decline, requests to parents for teacher aide funding contributions, requests to parents for funding for student support at extra-curricular camps and activities, stand-downs, use of restraint, and much more.
