Read What Our Participants Have to Say About Their Experiences With Our Course

I liked that it wasn't too long. It was good to hear what autism is like for rangatahi living with this. Gave really awesome tips for working with those with Autism.

So much practical, helpful information and tips. A welcoming, friendly atmosphere where we felt comfortable to ask questions. Very very much picked up on how best to talk to Autistic students, how to interact with them and how to make the environment as comfortable as possible.

This was very helpful and reaffirmed the things I am doing to support the boy I work with. I also learned a few extra things and again confirmed the different ways I can support the child I'm working with.

Every theme was very clear. Loved the examples and strategies. Thanks - feel more confident!
