Training for educators
This is a motivational session to see the gifts that autism brings, the incredible minds that autistic children have that if nurtured, will bring them confidence and hope.
This is something completely different. This is an inspiring and motivational session, delivered by an autistic person, using research that is led by autistic voices. Most sessions teachers attend are what autism is in the eye of professionals who observe, not from those of us who live with it everyday as part of our identity.
This will provide every teacher with a FOOLPROOF strategy to build better relationships with their autistic pupils. This session will benefit teachers in all educational levels as well as nurseries and private day units.
This session will cover
-
Jude's own story of growing up as a non-accepting autistic child into a proud autistic adult, covering Jude's primary, secondary and third level education experiences.
