    Invaluable

    Invaluable course if you want to learn more about autism. Anxiety is something that they may suffer everyday and we need to know the signs to help them before they are on empty. I will revisit this course again as it is full of useful information, hints and tips.

    The title outlines clearly what the course is about.

    The course covers the topic clearly and effectively. It has deepened my own knowledge of Autism and Anxiety and helped me to identify the next steps in my own learning in supporting the students I work with. Thankyou!

    Very thought provoking and excellent videos

    i enjoyed this course, it was very thought provoking and there were lots of practical strategies to take away. I really enjoyed the video on autism and joy - very funny, moving and inspiring. The trainer covered a lot of different scenarios really well.

    Brilliant!

    Thank you! These courses are simply brilliant! Being a parent of a teenager who has recently received their Autism diagnosis (privately as the NHS wait was simply too long), I just wish I’d signed up for my membership years ago. Then, we would have understood our son more fully, sooner, and had the knowledge to challenge teachers who often saw our son as the challenge and, undoubtedly and wrongly presumed, their behaviour was due to bad parenting. I just wish ALL parents AND teachers could be encouraged to learn about Autism. Everyone needs to learn about this so we can break down barriers and give our Autistic individuals more of a chance to live in an understanding world.

    Very informative - Total eye opener

    This has completely opened my eyes to our behaviour in supporting anxiety and how we can look at different aspects of anxiety on the whole not just ASD

    This course is informative and interesting. I have found out so much about how to help and support a child with anxieties. This information will be extremely useful to use in school and support parents too.
