ACAE utilises the skills and experience of its founding member who is a qualified trainer and has experience supporting people on the autism spectrum and related conditions (comorbidities). This professional experience is complimented by over 10 years of personal experiences as a mother of two boys on the autism spectrum. Put together these experiences provide in depth knowledge presented in interactive and relaxed atmosphere. Also, uses real life examples and co-deliver with individuals on the autism spectrum whenever possible. All the course there is content engaging with quizzes and questions, leaving you with information to go away and apply what you have learned or urge to find out more and research.
