February 2012

Hello,

I hope that you enjoy reading our February e-newsletter and I’d like to thank you for your continued support.

We are very excited to be about to launch our new autism training programme across England. Level 1 training has been successfully piloted this term and will be available in full from April. Schools can apply to take part now via their local hub – find out more here. You are also invited to take part in the consultation on the new set of National Autism Standards that are being developed. Consultation closes on 6 March – find out more here.

We also have some new invaluable autism specific resources available, including a DVD all about diagnosis created for young people on the spectrum by a group of young people on the spectrum –read more here.  Our 100% Awesomes peer awareness resource pack and the Tools for Teachers resource pack are both now also in stock so you can order your copy now.

We will be exhibiting at the Education Show at the NEC in March, so if you are planning to visit, we do hope to see you there.

With best wishes,

Steve Huggett
