Takiwātanga Resource Project developing culturally appropriate autism resources
Altogether Autism and Kanorau are working together to develop and provide culturally appropriate Takiwātanga (Autism) resources for the community, whānau, hapū and iwi.
The aim is to:
. provide credible and up to date information to whānau Māori around Takiwātanga
. invite open feedback, reflection and discussion to amplify and extend the voices of whānau Māori to express their understanding of Takiwātanga
. create free learning resources to develop relevant information and share knowledge through a Te Ao Māori lens on Takiwātanga
. create resources that can be used by Tāngata Whaitakiwātanga, whānau and professionals who engage and support Tāngata Whaitakiwātanga and their whānau.
You can contribute to this mahi by:
. completing the online survey
. attending the wānanga in Auckland on Monday 11 March 2024 or online www.surveymonkey.com...
. getting in touch at info@altogetherautism.org.nz or admin@kanorau.org
