Incredible Years Autism is a programme run under contract with the Ministry of Education. The aim of the programme is to deliver practical strategies to help parents/caregivers/whanau of children aged 2-5 who have been diagnosed with autism, are waiting for a diagnosis or show some autistic behaviours.
Children on the autism spectrum have a higher probability than their peers to have behavioural issues. Parents and caregivers of children with autism are more likely to experience higher levels of stress and anxiety. We understand that it’s key adults in a child’s life who have the biggest impact and can make the biggest change which is why this programme is focussed on take home strategies for parents and caregivers to implement in their everyday lives.
