✨ Workshop Highlights with Cynthia Rowe, Speech-Language Pathologist & Clinical Supervisor

When autistic students feel they must hide who they are to fit in, they may look like they’re managing - but inside, masking can be exhausting.
In our recent presentation, we explored how educators and caregivers can recognise masking and create environments where authenticity is supported, not suppressed.

What We Covered:
• What masking is and why it happens
• Classroom practices that can unintentionally encourage masking
• The “double empathy problem” and why connection goes both ways
• Practical strategies to support regulation, authenticity, and belonging

This free community workshop was proudly sponsored by KidsAbility Paediatric Therapy Clinic.
If your school or organisation would like to bring this training to your team, we’d love to collaborate.
