Developing Your Autism Acceptance & Understanding

Course introduction

The reduced access to external services has meant that many schools, colleges and settings are looking to set up and run therapeutic interventions in-house, from anger management to social skills. This training course is designed for those who are currently running interventions or considering setting up interventions. This session provides a step-by-step approach full of information, tools and practical strategies all needed to ensure interventions are successful and sustainable.

Interesting and inspirational

Very informative - covered a broad range of information concisely and with context.

It was extremely well put together and so informative, the pace was great and it would be great to do as a whole SLT, which I will be recommending to my team.
