Teacher Training


Workshop objective: to support and empower teachers in primary, secondary and further education to successfully teach and support autistic students in the classroom.

The number of autistic students in mainstream education is rising, and teachers are expected to meet a wide range of individual needs — often without the right tools or guidance.


Why Training Matters

Autism is an invisible difference, not a lack of ability. Autistic students may appear just like their peers, yet their reactions and behaviours can sometimes seem unexpected or confusing.

When teachers understand what’s behind a student’s behaviour, they can make simple, effective adjustments that reduce anxiety, encourage engagement, and help students thrive.


What You’ll Gain

This practical workshop gives educators the insight, confidence, and tools to better support autistic students.
You’ll learn:

  • How to recognise the characteristics of autism in the classroom
  • How to identify needs behind behaviour
  • Simple, classroom-ready adjustments that make a real difference

Workshop Highlights

Led by an autism specialist with hands-on classroom experience, this session is ideal for teachers, teaching assistants or school counsellors.

You’ll explore four key areas:

  1. Social Interaction – relating to others and managing social context
  2. Information Processing – thinking and learning styles
  3. Communication – using and understanding language effectively
  4. Sensory – managing environmental stimuli (noise, light, texture, etc.)

Workshops include:

  • Real-life case studies and examples
  • Group discussions and shared experiences
  • Practical interventions ready for immediate use

Tailored for Your School

Each workshop is flexible and adaptable to your school’s context. Time is allocated to deal with specific individual cases. The goal is to equip every participant with knowledge and confidence to create an inclusive, supportive environment where autistic students can succeed.
