We are running a training course for further and higher education staff in the UK on 'Understanding the Autism Spectrum'.

The course, which is run by our Prospects student and graduate team, aims to increase awareness of autism among college and university staff.

Attendees will learn about the possible issues facing students with autism, and find out about the practical strategies and adjustments that can be made to help students with autism to achieve their full potential.

We have upcoming dates in Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester and Plymouth. Previous attendees included lecturers, disability advisors, library staff, careers officers, course administrators and DSA Needs Assessors. One student services manager who attended the event said:

It was brilliant and very relevant to the sector. If you haven't booked already, I strongly recommend it.

Prospects also offer a consultancy service, which gives specialist guidance on inclusive procedures, practices and adjustments to help people with autism in the workplace. To find out more, visit www.autism.org.uk/prospects
