Parenting Workshops for Autism | Cadabam’s Child Development Center
Parenting a child on the autism spectrum brings unique joys and challenges. Cadabams CDC’s Parenting Workshops for Autism turn research into actionable everyday techniques you can use right away. In just four weeks, you’ll master communication tools, behaviour supports, and self-care habits that create calmer mornings, smoother bedtimes, and stronger family bonds.
Quick Overview: What to Expect from Our Parent Training Program
- Action-oriented, evidence-based ASD strategies – Every technique is backed by the latest research in developmental psychology and applied behavior analysis.
- Small-group sessions led by certified specialists – Groups of 8–10 parents ensure you get personal attention.
- Hands-on practice with real-world scenarios – Rehearse bedtime routines, supermarket meltdowns, and playground peer interactions in a safe, supportive space.
You’ll leave each 90-minute session with a clear plan you can implement the same evening.

Meet the Families Who Have Benefited
Before: Priya’s 6-year-old refused to brush his teeth—every night ended in tears.
After 4 weeks: Brushing is now part of a visual routine; bedtime takes 15 minutes instead of 45.
Before: Arjun avoided parks because his son ran off and screamed when other kids approached.
After: Using planned ignoring and peer-priming, Arjun’s child now asks to go to the park and plays side-by-side with classmates.
Parents track short weekly goals on a simple sheet; 92% report at least one major improvement by Week 4.
