This 1.5 hour talk was originally developed for the NAS Annual Professionals Conference 2023. It is an opportunity for both parents and professionals to gain a deeper understanding and insight into the experiences of autistic children in school and how they can better support by removing barriers to learning and thriving.

This self-study training is for personal use only,

I can also deliver it as a whole school training; please contact me via my Contact Page to discuss your training needs.
