Make a real IMPACT through training for organisations
Our Impact Award is designed to support organisations of all sizes to provide an inclusive and welcoming environment for their autistic employees and customers. We provide tailored training and practical tools for voluntary, public and private organisations to support our neurodiverse community. By achieving our Impact Award, you will demonstrate that your organisation offers an accredited autism accessible environment.
With over 30 years training experience and expertise, we are the only autism-specific training agency in Northern Ireland to offer the AQA Unit Award Scheme, which ensures the highest standard of learning.
Autism NI Impact Award
As the gold standard in autism training, we highly recommend every organisation becomes an Impact Award champion. Our CPD-accredited training will provide your team and organisation with the skills and support to better understanding autism and how to support autistic employees and customers.
