Webinars

Why does my child do that… even when they know better? 🤔  If you’ve ever asked yourself that question, this webinar is for you.  In this session, we break down one of the most important (and often misunderstood) Whether it’s meltdowns, refusal, attention-seeking, or anxiety-driven behaviours—there’s always a reason behind it.  This webinar is designed for parents, caregivers, and educators supporting children with autism or other developmental needs who want real, practical strategies—not theory that’s hard to apply in everyday life.  ✨ In this video, you’ll learn: • Why behaviours happen (the real reasons) • What your child might be trying to communicate • How to respond in a way that actually helps • Simple, practical strategies you can start using right away  No judgment. No overwhelm. Just clear, supportive guidance.  💬 Stay until the end for Q&A-style insights that address real-life challenges families face every day.  If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or unsure of what to do next—this is a great place to start. 

Navigating the school system can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re trying to make the best decisions for your child without always knowing what supports are available or how to access them.  Our upcoming Educational Advocacy Workshop is designed to change that.  In this session, you’ll gain practical, real-life strategies to help you: • Understand your child’s rights within the school system • Navigate IEP meetings with clarity and confidence • Communicate effectively with educators and school teams • Advocate in a way that leads to meaningful support for your child  This isn’t just about information—it’s about empowerment. When you understand how the system works, you can show up with confidence and ensure your child is getting the support they truly need.  Whether you’re new to the process or feeling stuck and unheard, this workshop will meet you where you are and give you tools you can start using right away.

Transitioning into adulthood can feel overwhelming for families — especially when there are so many questions around school transitions, services, funding, independence, life skills, advocacy, and long-term support.  In this workshop, we talk about what families can start thinking about as their child moves toward adulthood, and why transition planning does not begin at 18. It starts much earlier, in the everyday skills we build over time.  We explore meaningful areas such as communication, independence, self-advocacy, daily living skills, emotional regulation, community participation, and helping your child build a voice in their own future.  At Spokes Autism Services, we believe families should not have to navigate this journey alone. Our goal is to help parents feel more informed, more supported, and more confident as they begin planning for the next stage.  Whether your child is approaching adulthood now or you are simply thinking ahead, this conversation is a great place to start.
