Join us and Brandon Franklin to discuss this important topic 👏
For many autistic children, teens and adults, a routine medical or dental appointment is anything but routine. Unfamiliar rooms, sensory overload and unpredictable demands can turn a simple check-up into real distress.
That’s because going to and through a healthcare appointment isn't just one skill. It's many, many smaller ones, like going to a new building, waiting your turn, sitting in a chair, answering questions, having your blood pressure taken, or opening your mouth for a dental check.
This month, our free webinar is all about how to build these skills well before appointment day (not during it!).
Join AAA CEO Nicole Rogerson, and international guest, board-certified behaviour analyst Brandon M. Franklin as they break healthcare visits down into practical, step-by-step skills, so you know exactly where to start, whatever your autistic child, teenager or adult's age or support need.
What you'll learn
1. Find your starting point: identify essential healthcare skills vs. nice-to-haves
2. Step-by-step prep: how to practise for blood draws, physical exams and dental care safely at home
3. Real video demonstrations: case studies across different support needs
4. Clinic adjustments: exactly what accommodations to request from the doctor or dentist
5. Live Q&A: we’re extending our usual webinar to an hour so we can answer questions live, in real time.
6. Takeaway toolkit: supporting materials and the full recording, sent after the webinar
