Welcome to Autism Learns. We provide trusted online learning to parents, carers and professionals who are caring for, and supporting, children and adults on the autism spectrum.

Brought to you by the organisers of The Autism Show, we share the knowledge and practical skills to help you manage lockdown, at home and in the workplace.

This December we’re running an online learning series looking specifically at autistic teenagers and young adults, and how you can successfully support their educational, mental health and wellbeing needs.

Adolescence and early adulthood can be especially challenging for autistic people. Feelings of social isolation, lack of self-worth, and pressures to learn and be more independent, lead to a heighted vulnerability and proneness to mental health difficulties.

By attending you’ll gain an exclusive audience with a team of leading autism specialists, who’ll take you through the strategies and approaches which can make a positive difference.

Learnings include:

• The principles for creating the best learning environment
• Effective academic accommodations
• Understanding sensory processing and the sensory challenges educational environments present
• Understanding the causes of behavioural issues
• Reducing bullying and raising self-esteem
• Communicating effectively
• Tips to help autistic children and teens understand the causes of their anxiety
• Understanding depression and what therapies can help
• Developing friendship and relationship skills
• Teaching autistic teenagers about puberty and sex

You’ll also be able to learn from the experiences of other attendees and have the opportunity to ask speakers for personalised advice.

What’s more, if you miss, or wish to re-watch, any of the live webinars, you can view recordings of them for 30 days after the series has ended.

Book the series now for just £29.99 for parents and family carers, and £49.99 for professionals. Content is CPD certified. Price includes 30 day access to recordings of all the webinars in the series.
