The UK might have been in lockdown for several months but our Autism Ambassadors haven’t let the grass grow under their feet.
A year ago, our Autism Awareness training was just beginning to take off, having gained CPD accreditation a few months previously. The interactive 90 minute session was delivered to groups of up to 20 people in a light hearted and entertaining way, whilst all the time emphasising what organisations could do to make life easier for employees on the spectrum, and at the same time appear more welcoming to families with autistic members.
The lockdown meant that we could no longer offer the face to face sessions, so our trainers began to immediately work on a virtual version, which we are now ready to roll out to the public. The virtual training is a similar length and includes some interactive exercises along with video clips, all of which feature young adults with autism.
