Development support

We provide development support to teams that work with autistic and neurodivergent people.

Every development session is tailored to the team we’re working with, and can include information specific to individuals, if appropriate.

We’re happy to work with you to develop bespoke training, or to recommend other providers who work in a neurodiversity affirming way if we don’t have the experience you need. We can deliver development support online, as well as face-to-face.

Topics include

  • An introduction to autism as a sensory and social processing difference

  • Shut down and melt down (fight, flight, freeze and flop responses)

  • Disordered eating (and food as a sensory need)

  • Supporting regulation and restraint reduction

  • Understanding self harm

  • Adapting the physical environment

  • Making reasonable adjustments

  • Autism in girls and women

  • Autism and mental health

  • Neurodiversity 101

  • Supporting positive relationships and addressing vulnerability

  • Building positive relationships and providing personalised support
