Moving your practise to a neuro-affirming place can be daunting. There is so much information on what NOT to do but not so much on what you can do instead as a professional who is invested in supporting your Autistic clients.
Get Konnected takes all that uncertainty and hard work away- we have done all the prep work and have been developing our program for the past 8 years so that you can have confidence that the strategies you learn here are the very best for your clients- exactly what you and they deserve.
You already know that Autistic children and teens do not need social skills programs where they learn neuro-conformative ways of interacting. However, they often need support in accepting themselves and in being themselves authentically. And that’s where neuro-affirmative practitioners like you can shine!
Get Konnected shows you how to support Authenticity in your clients.
It is a course by us and for us and not about us and that’s why it’s the very best solution for you to make that move as you abandon social skills programs and develop your neuro-affirmative practise.

“Delighted I attended this training which was delivered by such a passionate facilitator. It really opened my eyes and gave me an important insight into what it is like for an autistic person living in a non autistic environment! Wouldn’t it be fab if something like this could be ran in schools around the country to help and support staff with autistic students.. Well done Evaleen”
