Cymraeg 

We support you to develop neuroinclusive settings, where difference is celebrated, and all autistic learners experience a positive education. 

Why work with us? 

We provide specialist autism education expertise​, by delivering evidence-based practical solutions. 

Our experience is built on co-production and collaboration, with lived experience from Welsh autistic young experts, parents and carers and education professionals.

The AET brought a wealth of experience, knowledge and skills not just the area of high quality, up-to-date and person-centered good autism practice, but also around how to develop, manage and embed organisational and cultural change.  This has been a hugely rewarding journey for all of us in Monmouthshire, and we are proud of what we have achieved together, the legacy of which will mean a sustainable model for autistic children.
