What People Say About This Workshop

“I found the course to be a huge amount of help to assist ASD children in the classroom. I love these beautiful children and now have more confidence to put strategies into place that will help them find their way in the world. Thanks again for your great work.”

“You have really helped me see children’s behaviour from their perspective and given me the tools and understanding to support them in a positive and more effective way. I have now taken on the Educational Leader’s role at a new preschool and really want to guide these educators in their inclusive practices.  Which means I am going to be drawing on all of your wisdom and resources so these children have really great outcomes.”

“Huge thank you for sharing your knowledge, understanding and passion for teaching kids on the spectrum. I have gained a much greater understanding of ASD and Autism from participating in your online course and have taken away a great toolbox of strategies to try in the classroom.”

“You would have to be one of the best presenters I have seen. It has been fantastic and I have really benefited (as will the families and children I work with) in applying many of the strategies in my work as an Earlylinks/ inclusion project worker.”
