Let’s Get Moving! Promoting Physical Activity for Kids on the Autism Spectrum

We invite you to join Bethany Brewin (MSc OT) as we talk about (and demonstrate!) promoting physical activity for children on the autism spectrum. You will be provided with an opportunity to connect with other families and will be given information and general strategies for supporting your child’s motor skill development and physical activity.  This workshop is appropriate for families and caregivers of autistic children and youth, as well as professionals working with this population.
