Autism Awareness
"Lunch and Learn"
Alongside our popular training courses, we also offer short talks for staff development events and meetings. These sessions work especially well as “Lunch and Learn” events—just remember, you’ll need to provide the lunch!
​
Our talks can be tailored, within reason, to meet your team’s needs, but they generally focus on explaining what autism is (and isn’t) and debunking common myths. Each talk is delivered by an engaging autistic speaker who shares their lived experience, offering valuable insights into the realities of autism.
​
Unlike a full training session, our talks are informal and don’t include slides, resources, or activities. Instead, they’re a unique opportunity to hear an authentic story and perspective. We always make time for questions, so attendees are encouraged to think of questions in advance.
​
These talks are suitable for all staff and are delivered at your location. They are designed to take place during a lunch hour, with the speaker delivering for 30–40 minutes, leaving plenty of time for Q&A. There is no limit on the number of attendees.​​
​
Cost: £250 per talk.
