This course is organised by the National Autistic Society.

24 September 2015 - London
This one day workshop will explore communication and sensory differences in depth, using available research, personal stories and anecdotes, video and practical hands on examples. The presentation will be non-technical (but will utilise technology), down-to-earth - and fun!

Understanding and supporting children with PDA
29 September 2015 – Glasgow
18 November – London
Delivered by Phil Christie from the Elizabeth Newson Centre, the course aims to develop a clearer understanding of PDA and its relationship to autism spectrum disorder. The session will focus on developing an understanding of developmental pathways and educational management of some of the more complex children within the autism spectrum, particularly those who fit the profile of PDA.
