The training was very informative and I enjoyed hearing about Debby’s personal experiences in supporting her own children with autism. It is refreshing to have a presentation where the trainer has a personal connection with the topic they are presenting on.

Could an autistic child thrive in your setting?

75% of autistic children are educated in mainstream schools and nurseries. Do your staff know how to meet their needs?
