PROVIDING AUTISTIC-LED TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES

inTRODUCTION

David Crisp

Autistic individuals are NOT defective! We are wired differently!

Learn about autism from "the inside out" , from an autistic individual with a wealth of personal and professional experience!

Learn from the ONLY fully independent autistic speaker , trainer and autism needs assessor in Northamptonshire!

I set up Wired4Autism to offer specialised autism-specific training for frontline staff in the health and social care sectors. I also offer autism needs assessments to adults or children already diagnosed as autistic to assist with obtaining the appropriate education or care provision.

Being a late diagnosed autistic, parent and carer with 14 years' experience in health and social care, I have extensive personal and professional experience in supporting autistic adults and children.

Following on from the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training Trial, and the Train the Trainer in Autism for Staff Working in Mental Health Units, of which I was a co-facilitator, your staff will be supported to build upon these foundations and be advocates for positive change for autistic individuals.
