These slides were developed for an National Education Union (NEU) Webinar in Summer 2025.
Here’s the session overview:

This webinar will look at ways to unlock the potential and promise of your autistic students. Discover practical and budget-friendly approaches that will be a game-changer for your autistic learners and positively impact your entire educational community.

If you were there, I hope these are a helpful aide-memoire. If not, I hope they make enough sense without me to be useful. If you’d like to download them, you can do so via this page on SlideShare.
