There are a range of school training services available:
This service provides training for schools co-designed and delivered by National Autistic Society and Learning Space to support schools in their understanding of autism, and offers practical classroom strategies to help support children and young people in their care.
This service raises awareness of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as a neurodevelopmental condition to the professional school communities across Surrey. The service raises awareness of the key characteristics of the condition and provides strategies to our professional school communities to enable children and young people to enjoy attending school, remain in school and achieve to the best of their ability.
Sessions are delivered via zoom or in person to meet the needs of the school. The team will offer multiple sessions to allow all the members of the school staff to attend the training. The team can offer flexible booking times to suit the needs of all the professionals in the school. We hold sessions for up to 30 attendees each time, these can be twilight sessions, inset day sessions, or arrangements can be made to suit the needs of the school. This training is designed so that the whole professional school community can attend and benefit from a partnership understanding.
