“I am autistic and I have 2 autistic daughters. I have had the honour of meeting a number of autistic professionals through hosting the SENDcast. Although I knew I didn’t “fit in” since I was at school, I was only diagnosed in 2023. Meeting some absolutely amazing autistic people over the years has been life changing. It has helped me understand myself and helped me see that we are all unique and possess incredible strengths. It’s a reminder of the importance of acceptance and understanding in our communities.”

Autism Progress is an observational assessment framework that enables your school or post 16 setting to understand how a student’s autism affects them. Being able to profile autism in this way:
- Gives you a detailed picture of each autistic student’s capabilities
- Gives you a range of targeted support strategies
- Helps to develop students in each of the 4 areas – Communication, Social Interaction, Flexibility of Thought and Emotional Regulation
- Helps you to provide tailored support for each student and plan their next steps
