AUsome Training - Neuro-Affirming Support for Schools

AUsome Training was founded by Evaleen Whelton, an autistic speech and language therapist who is reshaping how we understand and support autistic children. AUsome delivers training that challenges outdated models and empowers educators, parents, and therapists to support Autistic learners with respect, insight, and real understanding. Their work is rooted in lived experience, evidence-informed practice, and a strong advocacy for inclusive learning environments.

I am really grateful to AUsome Training for generously sharing some of their powerful visual resources with us here at Puppets Ireland, and I am excited to pass them on to you!
