👩‍🏫 Who This Is For

Autism for Teachers is designed for educators who want clear, practical guidance to support autistic pupils with confidence.

The programme is particularly well suited to:

Early Years practitioners
Primary school teachers and teaching assistants in mainstream or specialist settings
SENCOs or Provision Leaders supporting autistic pupils or those with associated needs in EYFS and primary settings

It is also highly relevant for:

Secondary school staff supporting autistic pupils with complex needs in mainstream or specialist settings
Specialist and alternative provision
Educators seeking a stronger foundation in autism-inclusive practice

This training is for you if you:
✔ Want clear, real-world strategies that work in busy classrooms
✔ Feel unsure or under-resourced with current autism approaches
✔ Are ready to move from reactive responses to confident, consistent support

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
