Autism Training
Here at the Springfields Academy autism is our passion and we aim to understand, enable and empower autistic learners every day.
The majority of children and young people with autism are educated in mainstream settings; working with Springfields Autism Support provides access to specialist expertise and experience. If you’re looking to develop your understanding of the autistic learner, build staff confidence, make reasonable adjustments or improve your environment then we have multiple ways to help.
The academy has vast experience in supporting schools, education professionals and other organisations with their SEND provision. As a National Autistic Society accredited school you can be confident that the Springfields team bring specialist knowledge and skills to your setting. You can find out more about our experienced outreach and advisory team on our ‘About Us’ page. You can view our School to School Support Brochure below.
