What is it?
This module is an awareness-raising module for all staff in a school community,

that need to be considered when working with autistic pupils.
Aims of the Training

affect them. - Listen to and learn from the perspectives of autistic pupils and their
parents/carers. - Reflect on your practice and implement reasonable adjustments to support
autistic pupils.
