Training Services...
We provide training for autism.west
midlands staff and seek to offer
a clear professional development
programme for all staff once they
have completed the organisational
induction. Ensuring that front
line staff have a good understanding
about the nature of autistic spectrum
disorder is central to our work.
Externally we operate a conference
schedule throughout the year that
covers a range of topics and in
a variety of venues around the
West Midlands. At times these
are provided in partnership with
other organisations. Recently
we have held events with both
BILD ( British Institute for Learning
Disabilities) and Sunfield School
in Clent, amongst others.
Requests for training come to
our department from all over the
region and from all sorts of organisations.
Health Trusts, Social Service
Departments, Play Groups, Schools,
Nurseries, Connexions, Voluntary
Organisations and Parents Support
Groups. We cover a considerable
amount of autism awareness work
every week as well as more specialised
training for example, in coping
with challenging behaviour, communication
support for children with an a.s.d,
access to employment for people
with Asperger Syndrome.
One of the most valuable aspects
to our training is the fact that
most of us have regular face to
face experience with children/adults
who have a.s.d. and often co-train
with adults with a.s.d. as colleagues.
