Autism Training Courses

We offer 3 training and workshop options for Autism

Our Autism training incorporates information with lived experience. We cover topics such as What is Autism, myth busting, functioning labels, traits and how they present in everyday life, masking, stimming, sensory and much more. Our workers and parents/ carers sessions also have some strategies that Matthew’s Hub members have found useful.

We have 3 different sessions so that the information and lived experience can be tailored to the audience.
