Autism awareness:
Building a better understanding of the child’s experience
This talk aims to help schools develop a shared understanding across staff of autism from a neurodevelopmental perspective. It will examine how autism can impact daily functioning, and how it affects life at school. We will explore and challenge preconceived ideas around social interaction, communication and behaviour, and thinking around expectations that can arise around exceptional skills and talents. We will also look at how to support school life and mental wellbeing for these students.
​
This talk can also be delivered as a parents workshop as a way for schools/organisations to support parents in developing a better a understanding of their child's strengths and needs.
Who is this for?
