Worlebury Golf Club, Monks Hill, Worlebury Weston Super Mare BS22 9SX

Orenda Training & Consultancy adopts a unique approach to autism training Orenda pride ourselves on co-producing courses with people with lived experience wherever possible

This workshop was influenced and designed by people living with Autism Spectrum Conditions, their families and people who provide support every day. It starts and ends with connecting with the impact of living with the condition. It is so much more than theory. Learning is focused on understanding yourself and using that understanding to get inside the condition. It means feeling the impact of living with a diagnosis and applying that learning to dramatically improve people’s lives. This session is packed with real life examples, experiential learning opportunities and a solid understanding of theory and research. If you want to make a real difference to shaping support for people that services may find challenging to support, then this is for you.

1 day workshop which explores: •How understanding a diagnosis of Autism helps with understanding a person •How understanding Autism impacts on thinking, perception, processing, Interests, relationships & families •What insightful, tailored support looks like that makes sense to people living with autism, services and staff •Why understanding yourself and your thought processes is vital to understanding someone else
