Preparation for Puberty for an Individual with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
PEAT (Parents Education as Autism Therapists)
Developing adult bodies is normal progression for all young people but for those on the autism spectrum is may be particularly difficult.
Preparation for Puberty for an ASD individual
Facilitation by:
- Dr Nichola Booth, Board Certified Behaviour Analyst
Regardless of the diagnosis, all individuals with ASD will reach puberty around the same time as their neuro-typical peers. This is often a much under-discussed topic within autism with many parents and young people often unequipped with the body changes, hormone changes and other issues associated with puberty. The workshop will discuss the various puberty situations as well as trouble-shooting scenarios to help make this particular transition easier for all.
Who should attend?
- Parents and carers of children with a confirmed diagnosis of Autism or related disorder.
- Parents and carers of children referred for or under assessment for Autism or related disorder.
- Individuals involved with families of children with Autism e.g. health visitors, family support workers, social workers, etc.
- Individuals directly supporting children and young people with Autism e.g. teachers, teaching assistants, education welfare officers, youth workers, etc.
