As part of the Autism-friendly University initiative, training is being offered to all DCU staff to help them better understand the experiences of students and staff who are on the autism spectrum.

Dates:

Monday 28th September 2020 (10.00am - 12.00pm) - online zoom session

Tuesday 29th September 2020 (2.00pm - 4.00pm) - online zoom session                  

Target Audience: All staff

Aims:

The workshop will provide a foundation of knowledge for staff members who wish to better understand the experience of life on the autism spectrum. It will focus on sensory, communication and social challenges faced by people on the spectrum, and on the unique strengths associated with autism.

This training will be provided by our charity partners, As I Am (www.asiam.ie) in conjunction with Student Support and Development. 

Outcomes

Attendees will leave the training with ideas for small adaptations that they might make to their work habits to ensure that they are as autism-friendly as possible.
