Autism: The Challenges and Opportunities
1st June 2016, Manchester Conference Centre
Following the success from our previous event we are holding our follow up event and I wanted to see if this may be of interest. Please find details below of our forthcoming National Autism Conference due to take place in Manchester in June.
Developed in association with Autism Together, the second annual Autism conference will help to develop a better understanding of the needs of autistic people, including actual experiences of those on the autistic spectrum, as well as informative insight into services available.
The programme will focus on life stages ie childhood, adolescence, and the transition to adulthood, focusing on key challenges such as diagnosis, education, SEN, family and social situations, employment, identity, and more. Presentations from those with first-hand experience of autism will be supplemented by practical sessions which are designed to be transferable, encouraging adoption across different teams and organisations.
