Creating Success facilitates training seminars on autism for parents and professionals living or working with children with autism.
Autism is a spectrum of disorders affecting language, behaviour and imaginative skills, and is estimated to affect one in 100 children. Yet even with these statistics, those that support children with autism in our schools and pre schools receive little in the way of training and understanding of the condition.

So often parents of children with autism and the professionals that support them miss out on hearing high profile international speakers because they live in the regions. Course fees coupled with additional travelling time and expenses make seminars like this out of reach for many families and professionals in regional centres.

Our mission is to make quality training opportunities more accessible for teaching staff throughout the country by bringing high profile presenters to as many regional centres throughout New Zealand as possible.
As parents of children with autism, we are well aware of the issues facing teaching staff when a child on the spectrum starts in their class. Many teacher aides and teachers are given little guidance and support when it comes to teaching children on the spectrum, and there are few, if any, resources available to provide them with the professional development they need.
We pride ourselves on offering the best international presenters on autism spectrum disorders for our training seminars. Our key speakers include Dr Tony Attwood, Sue Larkey, and Dr Wendy Lawson.
As a society we have so much to learn from children with autism and those who chose to be a part of that deserve recognition for their compassion and dedication - they are entitled to quality training to be able to support special needs children in their learning and our goal is to ensure this happens.
