FaHCSIA Funding and Purchase of Resources for Families Link to Letter From Sue Larkey to FaHCSIA Service Providers       As an Early Intervention Service Provider for children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), you would be aware of the generous 35% of families’ FaHCSIA funding that is available for the purchase of specified resources through the Helping Children with Autism (HCWA) package. This package acknowledges the tremendous difference early intervention can make for children with an ASD. With it parents can gain greater access to the two things they need most – professional services and reliable information.   As a teacher, researcher and author for over 20 years I understand just how powerful the combination of professional input and appropriate information can be for children with an ASD. Through Sue Larkey’s Education Events, I offer a wide range of books and resources designed for children on the autism spectrum, and we’ve assembled a specific package that relates directly to the early intervention initiative encouraged by the HCWA package:   • The Early Years: The Foundations for All Learning • Practical Sensory Programmes • Pics for PECS CD • Practical Communication Programmes • 20cm Time Timer • Tips for Toileting  • Teach Me to Play CD   These books and resources have been created specifically to compliment all early intervention programmes and together they cover all the issues that confront the parents of younger children with an ASD, and the professionals that work with them. The enclosed catalogue outlines more information on these resources – they are full of practical strategies and ideas as well as photocopiable worksheets and things to save you, and the parents, hours of time! They can be purchased individually if you wish, but under the HCWA initiative they are available as a package for a total of just $300 (GST incl). We’ll also throw in two bags of sensory toys for FREE (one for the families, and one for you for when you work with the child!).   You can view a full catalogue of our products, download regular newsletters packed with new tips and information or buy many other resources for children with developmental delays.   For children who are about to start primary schooling we offer a special HCWA Transition to School package for just $200 including:   • Developing Social Skills • Teacher Assistant’s Big RED Book of Ideas • Visual Learning • Making it a Success • 7.6cm Time Timer   I know that it is hard work helping a child an ASD, but when you can benefit from the knowledge and experience of others you lessen the load. The HCWA package presents us with a wonderful opportunity to make real progress when it matters most. I’m sure you’ll find this offer equally valuable.   Best Wishes Sue Larkey   More information a FaHSCIA funding following this link their FaHSCIA website >>> click here
