Target Audience: For primary school teachers and SNAs, ideal for anyone wanting to better understand and support autistic girls in school.

Develop a deeper understanding of the diverse ways autism can present in girls.

In this insightful webinar, Senior Speech and Language Therapist, Amy Collins (@amysclt), explores autism in girls through a neuroaffirming lens. Participants will examine why many autistic girls are missed or misunderstood, explore masking and its impact on wellbeing, and learn how to recognise and support individual differences within the classroom.

This session combines current research with practical strategies to help educators create inclusive environments where autistic girls feel understood, accepted, and supported.
