Saturday 6th September 2009: Session is CANCELLED

I am soooo embarrassed to once again advise that playgroup won't be happening this week. Living day to day as I do, it didn't even occur to me that this Sunday is Father's Day. My first and immediate thought was to organise a BBQ for our fantastic Dads on Sunday, but realistically, I don't have time to organise it. Perhaps we should look at doing this next year. Our Dads are fab and I think it would be wonderful to celebrate how important they are to us together. Same goes for Mother's Day. I never go anywhere on Mother's Day, or if I do, it is just too much for me and I don't get to enjoy the day like I would really like to. We can explore these possibilities more if enough people are interested.

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.
