Parent Training

The parent and child relationship is a life-long journey of learning and discovery. This may be exceptionally true for parents raising a child on the autism spectrum. Access to quality and timely information is critical for parents of children on the autism spectrum, so that they can support their child to reach their full potential.

Aspect Therapy offers a range of Parent Training programs focussed on families developing a greater understanding of autism and the impact that an individual child’s autism has upon his/her learning, development and behaviour.

Programs include the internationally renowned parent training programs Hanen More Than Words™ and Hanen Talkability™; PBS Plus, a behaviour support training programs which guides families in preventing and managing behaviours of concern; Autism in the Early Years Training program, which supports families learning and development across a broad range of areas; and a publication series designed to support families and service providers implement best practice intervention strategies.
