Every day, people with autism are expected to cope with the challenges of a world which can often seem bewildering and irrational. This can cause high levels of anxiety and stress, resulting in behaviour that can be difficult for other people to deal with, and creating challenges for professionals involved in education, health and welfare services.
Hear the latest research from experts in the field and learn from case studies illustrating best practice. With two different seminar streams to choose from (either clinical or practical strategies), you can select the seminars which are most relevant to your work.
