Alternative Autism Strategies

Alternative Autism Support Strategies training is run in collaboration with GEPS and Middlefield School. The training is intended to support staff who are working with young people for whom the standard autism support strategies, implemented appropriately, are not effective. Young people whose profile seems to be particularly driven to avoiding demand in school, even with those supports in place. This training will be most useful for those who have accessed other Autism training and have a good level of understanding of supporting autistic learners. Registration is through CPD manager.
