Health Statement: Due to COVID-19, our staff are currently working from home, but we remain active and committed to providing pre-recorded training sessions and/or live webinars. Contact us today to create a customized virtual event for your organization.
At Canucks Autism Network we recognize that coaches are often overwhelmed when leading diverse groups of athletes in sport. We want to help your sport organization to feel confident welcoming a range of participants in your programs, including those who have autism and related diagnoses.
We can help your organization in a variety of ways, and will work with you to create a customized training program that will best suit your needs.

Online Training: Supporting Positive Behaviour
Are you a coach who is unsure of what to do when faced with athletes who have a hard time focusing, or are disengaged or disruptive? If so, this training module is for you!
Canucks Autism Network launched the Supporting Positive Behaviour module, as part of the new online resource of programs called Coaching Kids of All Abilities.
Supporting Positive Behaviour focuses on managing group behaviour when working with kids of all abilities, particularly those who struggle with engagement in team environments and may have challenging behaviour.
