GROUP NOTICE

at 8:35pm on May 21st, 2009

I hope everyone is well and not having to suffer with any of the illnesses going around.Playgroup is on again this week and if the weather stays as beautiful as it was today, it will be a lovely day to have some fun in the sun.Lee-Anne Black, Autism Advisor from Autism SA will be at playgroup this week, so if you were wanting to have an informal chat with her, Saturday is a great opportunity to do so.

I was advised by Tony Zappia's office (Federal Member for Makin & Patron of the playgroup) that on Wednesday 13 May in the Federal Parliament House in the House of Representatives, Tony spoke of the Rainbow Land Playtime Group. This of course now appears as a permanent record in the Australian parliamentary Hansard. Tony's assistant will be sending me a copy of the record and so I will ensure I share it with you then.

Kind Regards & Stay Well.

Benefits to Families

Rainbowland Play Time provides many benefits to families living with autism and development delay. These benefits include:

- family inclusion...a safe place to take the whole family in a supportive & fun environment;

- child lead play...providing the child with an ASD or developmental delay with opportunities to choose their own activities and play options;

- sibling fun & support...provides siblings of children with an ASD or developmental delay ongoing support and an opportunity to have fun. The siblings are equally important;

- family support...families provide each other with support and advice that you can't get under normal circumstances;

- information...Rainbowland Autism Services sources information for parents as required.

- fun...RLPT offers an opportunity for all who attend to have a fun afternoon without the stress of too much structure and rules;

- friendships...families and the children form close friendships that are strong and long lasting.

RAINBOWLAND PLAY TIME ELIGIBITY

Rainbow Land Play Time offers a weekend Family Support Group. There are no age restrictions on this group.

Families who have a child with autism or developmental delay are eligible to register. It is really important to note that Rainbowland Play Time sessions are open to the whole family i.e. siblings. The siblings are just as important in our program as the children with specific needs and are able to participate in all our activities. We also encourage families to bring along their support networks such as relatives and friends if they wish.

Our fundamental focus is on SOCIAL & FAMILY INCLUSION and therefore there are no age restrictions or restrictions on family members who can attend. We also welcome families from all over the State of South Australia.

Why would you jettison a successful media career? In Ian Rogerson's case, it was because of his young son, Jack.
Diagnosed with autism as a toddler, Jack Rogerson was hyperactive, could barely speak and was unable to express ordinary affection. Like many parents of autistic children, Ian and his wife Nicole were left struggling to find their way.
Introduced by Therese Rein, the couple candidly discuss the highs and lows of life with Jack and explain how they've raised him to discover his full potential.
