Raising Awareness of Asperger Syndrome in Relationships: A one day workshop aimed at professionals working with individuals affected by Asperger syndrome.
Would you like to increase your understanding of this complex disorder and develop useful methods and strategies for working with individuals, couples or families affected by Asperger syndrome? Maxine has been running workshops to raise awareness and increase understanding of Asperger Syndrome for over ten years. The workshops are aimed at increasing understanding and providing strategies that work with clients, couples, families or students, affected by Asperger syndrome. The workshops are varied and each is arranged to suit the interests and knowledge base of the delegates attending. Here are some of the Raising Awareness workshops that have been run:- Raising Awareness in Students affected by Asperger syndrome A workshop for lecturers, teachers, educational staff and all professionals working with students affected by Asperger Syndrome. This has been run for both Durham and Dundee Universities and received excellent feedback. Raising Awareness in Relationships affected by Asperger Syndrome This workshop has been run for Relate Counsellors on a nationwide level from both the Park Centre and Relate premises. It has also been delivered to professionals working for Caffcas. Maxine's research has found that a counsellor's response to a couple, when one partner has Asperger syndrome, can be crucial to their future relationship. Asperger Syndrome in the Bedroom This workshop is aimed at psychosexual therapists and has been run for members of the British Association of Sex and Relationship Therapists (BASRT). Raising Awareness in Individuals affected by Asperger Syndrome This workshop is presented on a wider scale covering both Adolescents and Adults.
