About Our Training Courses

How do our training courses work?

Our courses are delivered in a variety of ways to suit you or your organisation. Our experienced Community Advisors provide in-person training at your workplace. Our Community Advisors will deliver your training course at your workplace. These can be delivered as half day or full day sessions.

See below for more details on the topics and content of each of our courses. 

What have participants said about our courses?

There was plenty of opportunity to discuss the knowledge learned within the context of our own service and the people that we work with. The session was engaging and thought provoking.

Going forward we will undoubtedly utilise this new knowledge to ensure that our work and our communication is sensitive to those with autism and now we feel far better prepared.

What an absolute pleasure it was to work with Scottish Autism. The help and support received ensured the success of our first ever relaxed performance for MISCHIEF MOVIE NIGHT. It was wonderful working with the team across various departments, bringing all the expertise together to help advise, support, and promote our relaxed performance. When we return to Scotland with any of our touring productions and have planned relaxed performance’s, it would be great to work with Scottish Autism again.
