Kate Gillespie – An introduction to autism in the early years
Wednesday 29th Nov 2023 @ 8:00 pm
Free
In this FREE webinar, early years specialist SEND practitioner Kate Gillespie gives us an important introduction to autism in the early years.
The National Autistic Society estimates that there are around 700,000 adults and children on the autistic spectrum in the UK and that equates to around 1 in 100 people. However, this does not include those without a diagnosis. For many of us working within the early years sector that means that we are often the first professionals to identify children who may need to go on for further assessment. With that in mind it’s so important that early years professionals have an understanding of autism. In this webinar, Kate will provide an introduction to autism in the early years.
