This info is from a brochure that I have.
PlayConnect Playgroups are here to help families with children with an ASD. It's about connecting with other families.
Families that have a child aged from 0-6 years with ASD, or ASD like symptoms, are welcome to join a PlayConnect Playgroup. Your child does not need an ASD diagnosis to join.
PlayConnect Playgroups meet weekly for two hours. During playgroup sessions, caregivers and children participate in a variety of play activities suited to the needs of children with ASD.
Numerous studies have shown the value of playgroup on young children's social, cognitive, emotional and language development. Parents and caregivers say playgroups are useful because they help them connect with other families in similar situations.
Siblings aged 0-6 years are also welcome to attend.
PlayConnect is not therapy based however your PlayConnect Worker can provide you with information about strategies for play and specialist services in your area.
For more information please visit www.playconnect.com.au (http://www.playconnect.com.au) or contact your Playgroup Association on 1800 171 882 (Toll Free).
I hope that this may help some of you out there. :) How I WISH that they had these type of services when I was a child!
