Autism and communication, 25 November 2014, Reading: This conference will discuss the types of communication difficulties that people on the autism spectrum can experience, as well as the various tools and strategies to help support verbal and non-verbal communication.

Our keynote speaker, Gina Davies, is one of the top experts in the UK in helping young people to develop communication skills. She will be looking at how we can inspire attention in people with autism and how to make therapy irresistible.
