Our webinars are designed to be useful for both professionals and parent carers working and living with our ND community.

Progression Framework
The Inclusion Support Advisory Service (ISAS) recommends the use of the Autism Education Trust (AET) Progression Framework to support the identification of needs and planning for support and provision. It is a strengths-based model which enables schools to identify areas for development for individuals and/or groups of children. We will be offering an updated training package for school settings.
