Special Episode – Autism and ADHD Shows 2026
We are delighted to welcome Geoff and Nargis Soppet, Event Directors and Founders, on The SENDcast.
Geoff and Nargis join Dale in the studio for this special episode to discuss the Autism & ADHD Shows (June–July) in London, Birmingham, and, for the first time, Liverpool (moved from Manchester).
They share how the event evolved from the Autism Show, launched in 2011 after their son’s autism diagnosis, to its current format that also includes ADHD – driven by the rise in co-occurring diagnoses.
They also describe what attendees can expect: a welcoming, supportive community hub offering over 100 CPD-accredited learning hours, practical strategies, workshops, one-to-one clinics, and the chance to connect with exhibitors and services.

Autism Progress is an observational assessment framework that enables your school or post 16 setting to understand how autism impacts a student. It helps you to provide tailored support for each student and plan their next steps.
On each Friday afternoon at the events, Dale Pickles is looking forward to presenting during the ‘Exhibitor Talks’ sessions to show how autism profiling can help teachers.
