Aquatic Therapy And Sensory Integration Seminars For AS

Taking care of a child with autism is no joke, you can’t just imagine the frustration, the confusion and emotions in between when you don’t know how to deal with you child. The best thing I did as a favor for myself and my daughter was attending seminars to help me understand her more and be gentle with myself for not being able to understand her.

The Autism Society of the Philippines (ASP) and the Center for Autism and Related Disorders hold seminar series that serves as a platform to educate Filipino parents and professionals on the various interventions, modalities and theories surrounding Autism Spectrum Disorder.
