Autism NI’s Training Service has over 30 years’ experience in delivering courses that support people to understand more about autism and build their confidence and skills to support autistic people. 

Our team come from a range of professional backgrounds, and they each have a wealth of experience in working with autistic children, adults, or families. They are committed to delivering a high-quality experience for all the delegates that is informative and engaging. 

Our training programmes have been developed and consistently updated through feedback and co-design with our autism community, so the content is relevant, accurate and up to date.
