About this course

In this course we will introduce you to:

  1. Fresh ways of thinking about friendship and inclusion

  2. Ideas for nurturing friendship opportunities for autistic children

  3. Inclusion Facilitation as a way of supporting friendship development

  4. The Circle of Friends approach

These approaches could transform the life of a child you really care about or one you find particularly challenging.

One idea is to build a team around a child recruited from their peer group - encourage acceptance and problem solving and watch for the change!

Additionally, our book 'Creating Circles of Friends' (worth £17.99) is available free to all participants on this course.
