Our Participants
Our workshops are attended by early career clinicians and experienced clinicians from a range of disciplines wanting to expand their autism knowledge and skills. Workshops are offered online and in person.

Our Presenters
Presenters come from a range of multi-disciplinary, clinical, academic, and lived and living experience perspectives. The focus of training is the translation of knowledge to development of practical clinical skills.  

Our program offers a sequential progression of training categorised into 3 streams:

Core Training
Provides a comprehensive understanding of autism and co-occurring mental health conditions. Our most popular workshop, Autism Assessment Fundamentals & Co-occurring Conditions, demonstrates the complexity of a multidisciplinary autism assessment and is the prerequisite for advanced training workshops.

Skill Development
A deeper exploration into co-occurring mental health conditions. Targeted and specific to enhance clinicians' knowledge and skills in working with autistic clients who experience co-occurring conditions and advancing knowledge of current evidence-based strategies integrated with neurodiversity affirming practice. (e.g. Autism and ADHD, Eating Disorders, Suicide Prevention, Anxiety, & more).

Advanced Assessment
Training in autism assessment tools for use in clinical practice: the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) and Autism Diagnostic Interview Revised (ADI-R).
