My training programme helps teachers and schools support and educate their pupils who have autism by increasing understanding and communication skills. Typically I work with schools who need support and training for pupils as it is not always the case for children with autism to be statemented, and many will still need additional help with communication and learning.Autism Compass training is a 6 session programme, designed specifically as ongoing learning with information and practical exercises to compliment the education. Schools and teachers have access via their annual subscription to a wealth of resources and support which can be shared amongst all staff.• The programme runs over 6 sessions throughout a year and can be started at any time• No waiting for a course to run • It can be used for single or multiple staff alike• Training is applied "on the job" no supply cover is necessary for staff

Qatar

Qatar Foundation (QF) is a non-profit organization made up of more than 50 entities working in education, research, and community development - an "Education City". The groundbreaking and incredible Renad school (within the QF) educates children with autism from some 19 different languages, all with different learning programmes and I was honoured to be the first principal of this first school for autism in Qatar and help establish their story.I was part of a small team who introduced the National Autistic Society (NAS) parent programme called EarlyBird into Qatar. I remain as chair of the Qatar EarlyBird committee and continue to support the development of the initiative in Qatar.

This is a specialist Autism Centre within a UK mainstream school where I worked in for 20 years. Having joined as a teacher then progressing to leading the centre, it is very close to my heart. I expanded it from 2 classes to 3 (age range 4-11) and introduced parent support initiatives, and remain in contact with many parents and children. Children are taught the skills they need to ‘live in this world’, develop appropriate life skills, and establishing a predictable daily routine and consistent approach. This minimises anxiety, creating an atmosphere in which the children can learn. "Change” is built into the routine and staff work with the children to help them accept change as part of life.
