| Headline: | Positive Parenting for Kids with Autism Spectrum Conditions |
| What We Do: | Welcome to AuKids, a quarterly positive parenting magazine aimed at families with young children on the autism spectrum.
AuKids is a joint venture between parent and journalist Debby Elley, whose twin sons have autism, and speech and language therapist Tori Houghton. Debby worked on local radio and in newspapers before starting a freelance career as a writer. She was eager to help Tori make her dream of a magazine into a reality after experiencing a steep learning curve when her sons were diagnosed with autism in 2006. Tori is a speech and language therapist who has worked with children on the autism spectrum for nine years. Tori first came up with the idea for a magazine while working with Debby's twins, Bobby and Alec. "Debby and I were always swapping ideas and I thought it would be great to find a way of sharing them," she says. "To hear tales of success from parents who have read AuKids makes all the hard work worth every second!" |

| Services Offered: | Why AuKids? Orchids are beautiful flowers - special and unique. They need the right conditions in which to grow and flourish. Subtle changes in the environment can make a huge difference to these delicate plants. There is a pre-conception that orchids are hard to grow.
Actually, if you find out about them, begin to understand them and adapt to what they need, they - like our children - can turn out to be exceptional. We took a few liberties with the spelling and then we had it - AuKids. |
