Autism Acceptance Training

Our practical, engaging training helps organisations develop a better understanding of autism and gives employees simple, effective strategies they can use to support autistic colleagues, customers and members of the wider community.

Available as a half-day or full-day course for businesses and organisations.

Going beyond autism awareness to autism acceptance

Knowing about autism is an important first step. Acceptance goes further. Autism acceptance is about recognising and respecting autistic people as individuals, understanding that people experience the world differently, and considering how our environments, attitudes and ways of working can become more inclusive. At Autism Together, our training is designed to help turn that understanding into positive, practical action. Through accessible learning and real-world strategies, we can help your team build greater confidence and create an environment where autistic people feel understood, respected and included.

What will your team gain from the training?

Our Autism Acceptance Training can help your organisation:
  • Increase understanding of autism

    and the different ways autistic people may experience the world.

  • Improve confidence

    when communicating and interacting with autistic people

  • Identify barriers

    within working environments and everyday practices.

  • Explore practical strategies

    that can help employers better support autistic members of staff.

  • Encourage great inclusion

    of autistic people in the workplace and wider community.

Who is the training for?

Autism Acceptance Training is suitable for organisations looking to build their understanding of autism and create a more inclusive culture.

It can be particularly valuable for:
