Nicki our Social Interest Manager leads our Scrapbooking and Minecraft Build and Share Sessions, alongside Caitlin our Youth Facilitator.  There are separates Session for Girls and Teens/Young Women.

Who are the Sessions for?

Our online sessions offer a valuable chance for autistic girls and women to connect with their peers.

What is the aim of the Sessions?

We aim for the Sessions to enable the participants  to:

• Share positive social interactions in a pressure-free, supportive setting or to work alone if desired
• Take part in a collaborative session, to share tips and build together or simply play alongside each other
• Join a cohort which often remains similar in each session
• Benefit from a hidden curriculum promoting SEMH and wellbeing

What will happen in each Session and how long will it be?

 

Minecraft Format – The Session will start with  a welcome. Nicki will share group guidelines and the build challenge for the session, e.g. “Can you build an aquarium?” with examples.  The girls can then get started on their builds, with Nicki and Caitlin providing support, tips and encouragement around their builds and facilitating conversation around shared interests to support connections.  The Session often includes a short autism related activity (optional) at the end. The Session will last approximately 75 minutes and is supported by Nicki our Social Interest Manager.
