Communicating with non-speaking Autistic Pupils

Join us for a practical, affirming webinar exploring how to truly connect with non-speaking Autistic students. We’ll challenge outdated assumptions, explore respectful communication supports, and offer real-world strategies that honour autonomy, agency, and the richness of non-verbal expression. Whether you're a teacher, SNA or parent, this session will help you listen differently—and support more meaningfully.
