Please note: Your pre-booking won't be accepted until you provide all your details.We need all your information, to be able to ensure we have a space for you. - Understanding Autism: Level 2 - Taking a closer look- 23/4/26- 1-4pm This workshop is to help youth workers to understand and respect autistic people more, which in turn will build bridges and better connections with the autistic community. Learning Outcomes: Following from Level 1, we will be exploring some of the ways that autistic people will express themselves in everyday life and in conversation with others. Some autistic terms have been more commonly used within the autistic community and can help us as youth workers to understand them more and why they express themselves in the way that they do. We will also help participants understand the ways trauma presents with autistic people and how we, as youth workers can change our practice to better support autistic people in our groups. Our funding supports training to be delivered to Residents of Scotland only. Youth worker training is in high demand – please help us support youth workers to access the training and development they deserve with these simple steps: <ol><li>Tell us if you cannot attend more than 24hrs in advance. This allows us to free up the space for another youth worker (many sessions are oversubscribed) and means you will avoid being charged the £25 fee for late-notice cancellation or non-attendance.</li><li>Check you can join with camera and microphone. Our online training is engaging, interactive and discussion-based – not a webinar format. Our members regularly tell us this is better learning and we are confident you will gain more.</li><li>Eventbrite sends you all your information by email. You will receive your ticket at booking and be sent a reminder – with any login details if online – approximately 24hrs in advance.
