Thanks to the CTTG Community Services Forum for Their Kind Donation

We wish to thank the City of Tea Tree Gully Community Services Forum for giving us a very generous $500 to purchase art, craft and activities for the children to play with.

Art and craft is the most popular of all activities and so to have the funds to provide enough art, craft and activities for the rest of the year at least is so wonderful.

The children got to use the art and craft materials for the first time today and they had a ball.

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.
