Education is central to the work of AsIAm, Ireland’s National Autism Charity. In this section, you will find information on the school talks which AsIAm deliver for school staff, students and parents. This is not to be confused with our more in-depth and long-term Autism Friendly Schools programme, which you can learn about here.
We have three types of talks from our expert training team.
Staff Training
90 mins online or 2 hours onsite
Student Workshop / Whole-School Talk
1 hour onsite
Parents / Guardians Talk
90 mins online or onsite
Costing
AsIAm does not receive specific funding for this programme and demand for delivery of our education programmes is high. Consequently, there is a fee for hosting a workshop. We aim to make our costing competitive with other educational training companies – noting that our training programmes fund our advocacy and community support work for autistic people and their families.
AsIAm as an organisation is acutely conscious of each student’s individual rights. We are governed by policies relating to the safety of children, vulnerable persons and data protection. For this reason, certain protocols are in place for our speakers and the school that they visit, which will be discussed further when booking a speaker from AsIAm.
