This event brings together researchers and practitioners, from NI and ROI, to explore compassionate and contemporary understandings of autistic young people who experience significant anxiety about attending school. These perspectives will highlight what supports genuine safety, connection and capacity for engagement.
Throughout the day, you’ll hear research insights, practice examples from schools, contributions from support services across Ireland, and lived-experience perspectives that highlight what supports genuine safety, connection, and capacity for engagement.
The focus is on building knowledge, challenging unhelpful narratives, and equipping educators with a neuro-affirming toolkit to support autistic children and young people in ways that respect their needs, autonomy, and wellbeing.
Join us for an informative and empowering day designed to strengthen understanding and practice.
