Training: Working With Autistic Adults. Next Course September 2024.

Written By Vauna Beauvais

We had the most amazing time learning together on the course, from February 2024, until May 2024. Not only am I totally delighted about that, but also I am relieved that enough colleagues believed in us to come on the training, and that made that first time of running that course actually viable to do. Those therapists who were our learners, I will always be grateful for your belief in us and I have enormous gratitude for making it a time to remember forever.

We were, not exactly, writing the course as we went along, but tweaking it to fit the colleagues that we had in the group. We definitely were doing lots and lots of research-and-reflecting as the course progressed. It was full-on hard work, but very very rewarding to do. And the outcome is a superb course that now still is good to offer out again with only minor updates (as you would with any course). Even though its now all written and been tested, there will be some new sections of the course added in September, which will be made to especially fit the colleagues in Septembers group.

What I learned from doing that (deeply researching, reflecting, and designing the course) has really elevated me up a whole other level now.

And we ALL said that we had emerged transformed, both personally and professionally from both the course contents, and the talks we had and the safe time together throughout.
