Our award-winning Learning Culture Team are accredited trainers with years of experience in delivering high-quality, professional and informative training around autism.
We offer a range of workshops and training courses relating to autism. These sessions promote positive support for autistic people, through a range of different training with some aimed at businesses and others for families and carers.
Our training is delivered by our award-winning Learning Culture team. Each member of the team is a highly experienced trainer and, crucially, each of our trainers has previously worked in social care, directly supporting autistic people.
The team has also co-created an autism-specific training method, the Autism Together Model (ATM), which is accredited by Bild ACT and delivered to all our staff – and can also be delivered to other care providers.
We offer a range of autism-specific workshops aimed at families and carers of autistic children. These workshops aim to increase knowledge and confidence in people to improve understanding and support for autistic children.
The different workshops cover a range of important areas, beginning with a broad overview of autism, alongside autism-specific courses covering communication, sensory needs, behaviours, and co-occurring conditions.
These are scheduled to begin in 2026 and will take place from 5-7pm on a Wednesday evening. See below for more details and to book onto the workshops.
