Early Days is a national workshops program which provides flexible and targeted support for parents and carers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) and ASD like symptoms including parents and carers from diverse cultural, linguistic and Indigenous backgrounds and those living in rural and remote areas.
The workshops:
- focus on enabling parents and carers to better support their children with ASDs or ASD like symptoms
- help parents and carers to learn new coping skills
- help parents and carers to more effectively manage the pressures they face in raising their children
- offer opportunities for parents and carers to create links within their local ASD community.

The workshops are being delivered by the Parenting Research Centre and commenced in February 2009. Workshops are being conducted in each state and territory.
