Essential Autism licensed user training

This training licenses autism-experienced professionals to deliver a one-day Essential Autism course to their staff teams.

About the training

The Essential Autism course is based on training that the National Autistic Society specialist autism trainers have been delivering successfully to thousands of professionals across the UK and beyond for a number of years. It is an interactive course aiming to equip delegates with an understanding of autism which they can take into their practice. Focusing on autistic perspectives throughout, the session will explore how delegates can adapt strategies to ensure they give the best possible support and understanding.

This Essential Autism Licenced User Training licences autism experienced professionals to deliver the Essential Autism course to their staff teams.
