The Parental and Community Engagement (PaCE) Project
The project offers Aboriginal families a safe environment to talk about autism and other behavioural and learning needs that may be affecting their child at home or school. We will do this by holding yarn ups and gatherings within local communities.
These yarn ups and gatherings involve the extended family and trusted service providers. Any decision about who to invite is made by each family of the child.
In 2012, yarn ups will be held in the Cranebrook, Campbelltown, Nowra, Hunter, Far North Coast, and Moree areas.
The project IS
- An opportunity to create a supportive network for families whose child has behavioural or learning needs.
The project is NOT
- An autism, behavioural or learning assessment
- A funding provider
