Inside Autism:

Practical, Neuroaffirming Training for Professionals — and the Teams Who Support Them

Whether you work directly with Autistic children — or lead a team who does — you know how complex this support can be.

Inside Autism offers practical, real-world tools for professionals navigating those moments when behaviour doesn’t make sense, emotions run high, and everyone’s doing their best with what they’ve got.

Neuroaffirming. Trauma-informed. Grounded in lived and professional experience.

It’s designed for:

You’ll get:

We know what it’s like when…

Your team has training — but still feels unsure
Everyone’s doing their best, but there’s still confusion and inconsistency.

You want to move beyond “behaviour management”
To something that actually supports regulation, safety, and growth.

You’re trying to respond — not be reactive
But the behaviours are complex, and the usual tools aren’t working.

Burnout is high, and regulation is low
Your people are stretched thin — and it’s hard to stay steady.

You’re leading a team — but carrying a lot
And you need training that makes your job easier, not more complicated.

Whether you’re a frontline professional or a team leader, you deserve training that’s practical, respectful, and truly useful — for every child and every staff member.

Imagine This…

What if the way you respond to Autistic children helped them feel safer, seen, and supported — not more stressed?
What if your team shared a common language — and it actually worked in practice?

Here’s what Inside Autism can offer:

For Professionals:

Less second-guessing — more clarity on what’s actually helpful
Practical ways to reduce stress (for you and the child)
A shared language to use across your team or workplace
Feel more aligned with your values, not just your policies

For Children:

Environments that feel safer and more predictable
Adults who understand what’s behind the behaviour
Fewer power struggles, more moments of connection
Support that builds trust instead of control

For Organisations:

More consistent practices across your staff
Less burnout from trial-and-error strategies
A culture that’s trauma-aware, neuroaffirming, and child-centred
Training that actually sticks — and improves team cohesion

A Real-World Framework That Shifts How You See, Respond, and Support

Inside Autism is built on the S.U.P.E.R. Model — a simple, powerful framework that helps professionals support Autistic children in ways that reduce stress, build trust, and create meaningful change.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

S – Self-awareness

Understand how your own belief systems and nervous system reactions influence how you support — so you can respond with more steadiness and less reactivity.

U – Understanding

Explore the Autistic brain, sensory processing, trauma, demand avoidance (including PDA), and behaviour through a relational, neuroaffirming lens.

P – Prepare, Plan, Teach

Move from reacting to teaching. Learn how to proactively build skills and understanding that reduce escalation over time.

E – Environment & Culture

Shape physical and emotional environments that feel safer for everyone — with more predictability, less pressure, and greater calm.

R – Relationship & Rapport

Build genuine trust, connection, and co-regulation — and repair after ruptures in ways that honour both the child and the professional.

Core Topics Covered

Autism as a neurotype (not a problem to fix)
The nervous system and stress response (fight, flight, freeze)
Sensory processing and how it shapes behaviour
Demand avoidance (including PDA) and power struggles
Meltdowns, shutdowns, and misunderstood “tantrums”
Trauma-informed support and emotional safety
Regulation and co-regulation as a foundation for growth
Strategies that reduce escalation and build trust

Testimonials

“Aggression is such a very tough topic, and the mechanics of the subject and tactics for dealing with it empathetically were so well covered."

“Being carers we do a lot of training, here we were thinking will this be just the same as all the others. Well we were totally wrong, how great, interactive, real, relatable it was. Everything that was said we are like wow this is our children. A huge thank you"

“Extremely informative presentation highly recommended not just for those with ASD but also for those supporting students and young people with ASD. Presenter was incredibly knowledgeable and empathetic to the struggles one maybe experiencing. I have attended many presentations over the years but this has been by far the best yet."

“As Support Worker, I found this webinar, full of very informative and helpful information. It has given me renewed confidence in the way I’ll approach my role when working with my autistic clients and I even feel it will benefit my approach with behaviours I experience with other clients, Thank you."

"Glad I attended this course. Speaker is extremely knowledgeable and well spoken, engaging from start to finish. Yes I learned a lot but I also felt validated that I have got a lot right. Couldn't agree more that connection with our young people is key. If you are a parent, educator, or carer don't miss next time."

"Thank you! Information from a neuroscience base, which showed compassion and understanding for children and the adults who care for them. I recommend the Parent course to my clients because I can see how helpful it is coming from a trauma informed, ND affirming approach."
