Supervalu’sAutism & Communication seminarinNewRoss

ST Mary’s Secondary School in New Ross will play host to an ‘Autism & Communication’ seminar hosted by AsIAm, Ireland’s national autism advocacy charity and sponsored by SuperValu, on Wednesday, February 26.

The seminar is part of an ongoing series of seminars which offer support and much-needed information to the Wexford autism community.

The ‘Autism & Communication’ seminar will be given by Speech & Language Expert Lisa-Ann Roche and will focus on practical tips for supporting communication skills including using visual supports and developing communication techniques.

It will also cover ideas on developing social communication skills and being a clear, consistent communication partner.

Tickets are free and are available here https://www. eventbrite.ie/e/autism-communication-tickets-92691024349 or simply pop into Molloy’s SuperValu New Ross who will also have a number of tickets available.

CEO of AsIAm Adam Harris said: ‘Often our community can feel isolated and under-supported - these events will bring people together to share experiences, identify possible local supports and listen to subject matter experts.’

Colum Molloy of Molloy’s SuperValu New Ross said: ‘We are delighted to sponsor this seminar and are committed to supporting New Ross on its journey to becoming Autism Friendly. Currently we are in the process of making our store more autism friendly and we look forward to launching this at the start of April.’
