About this webinar
Hosted by Jess Rowlings and Dr Matthew Harrison from Next Level Collaboration, this webinar focuses on the benefits of online gaming in developing skills and knowledge in social capacity, collaboration and positive autistic identity.
Online friendships can be more prevalent with autistic children, however an increased amount of time spent online in gaming communities may make children more vulnerable to being exposed to unsafe behaviour.
Amaze’s free online safety webinars educate parents and carers about the increased risk of harm for autistic children participating in online gaming communities. Our expert guest speakers will provide practical strategies about being safe online and building healthy online habits. Parents and carers will have an opportunity to ask the experts questions as part of each session.
