In organising the first Autism Journey to Success conference, I especially wanted a mixture of people with autism, their family, teachers, students, academics and researchers. This happened, it was hailed a great success by the management of the University. attracting almost 200 people. Professor Colin Martin confirmed it was the best conference he had been too. One head teacher declared that he simply wanted all of his staff to come along, we intend to repeat this experience. In order to do this, we have booked a whole range of people who will challenge and develop our understanding, so why not book your place today.
My background is mental health nursing, with a few years in learning disability care. I have published on autism, restraint and mentorship. I have research into flourishing and languishing and presented at conferences on rights of students with disabilities, autism, Irlen's syndrome and restraint and mentorship. I am a parent with four children, one of whom has been diagnosed with autism.
