This time last week we were at The Annual Autism Conference 2024! Thank you to Joanne Morgan for your kind words about our event & the importance of CPD! #AutismConf24
@CelticFC we are looking forward to hearing about what the Celtic Foundation do to address inequality and promote an inclusive culture. Thanks to Donna-Marie Henry for joining us today #AutismConf24
We are delighted to welcome Ross Mattinson, he shares his personal perspective and explains what helped him to overcome day-to-day challenges and what strategies he has in place.
Geoff Evans has over 40 years experience working with autistic children and young people. It’s always a pleasure to hear Geoff speak, sharing his vast experienc and today he talks about day-to-day life and what we can do to look at the individual. #AutismConf24
@SheffieldLuke is back on stage and is talking us through some examples of reasonable adjustments that can be applied across settings. It’s not autism that caused burnout or anxiety in children, it’s the environment. So what can we do to manage that better? #AutismConf24
We considered what autistic burnout looks like and what the impact on an autistic young person is. Loneliness, isolation, scared, overwhelmed, anxious, spiralling. #AutismConf24
We are delighted to welcome Dr Luke Beardon @SheffieldLuke back. Today he’s looking at autism and contemporary thinking and examining the hottest research in Austim.
Delegates enjoying a refreshment break before we start. We are delighted to be joined by @AutismDiag54989 who are exhibiting today, please take time to chat with them about their important work. #autismconf24
Thanks again to all of our delegates for attending today’s conference and to our speakers, Chair and event partners @BarnardosScot & @KibbleCharity. We hope you all enjoyed your day!
Thank you for your bravery in sharing your personal experience Gemma @siscorecovery. Your honest, brave, account is a reminder of why we need to keep learning about how to listen to children and give them the support that they all deserve.
Natalie & Gemma from @siscorecovery share incredibly powerful voices from the children and young people they work with. Always powerful to hear these stories of trauma experienced children.
Time to hear from our other event partner @KibbleCharity. Dan Johnson, Clinical Director. Dan shares practical strategies of how to communicate with children who harm. An engaging presentation with the delegates sharing their thoughts as well.
We are now joined by Alison & Zara from @BarnardosScot Early Intervention Service who discuss Child Sexual Exploitation and looking at strategies for prevention and early effective, response.
A crucial recognition that there is an understanding from pupils & staff that some children need to be treated differently to be treated equally. @LourdesSec
We are delighted to hear from
Fiona Gaughan and Kathleen McBride from @LourdesSec. They are sharing their experiences, best practice and how best to support young people. Invaluable lessons from the school environment.
