Our vision is a world where all autistic children and young people experience a positive education that supports wellbeing.
Meeting the growing demand
Since 2007, we have been the go-to destination for autism education expertise - helping the UK education workforce develop and meet the growing demand for good autism practice.
Against the backdrop of an ever-changing SEND landscape, demand for our award-winning culture change programme and training resources is growing rapidly.
Only 26% of autistic pupils feel happy at school
According to the National Autistic Society’s Education Report 2023, ‘only 26 % of autistic pupils feel happy at school’, and ‘without appropriate teacher training, autistic children are twice as likely to be excluded’.
The Report highlighted the sad reality that 54% of autistic students said that having teachers who didn’t understand them is the worst thing about school.
