Course dates for Hull:
AET (Autism Education Trust)
Aspire holds the Hull licence for the AET. Aspire offers face-to-face CPD packages to support schools in working with students with autism.
According to the latest SEND statistics (DfE) there are over 160,000 autistic pupils in schools across England. Over 70% are in mainstream school, with the rest in specialist education, home educated or out of education altogether. In addition, Autistic pupils in England are nearly three times as likely to be suspended from school for a fixed period as pupils with no special educational needs. The need for increasing autism awareness and understanding children with autism is evident.
AET trainers run courses at the end of each term and offer a range of different packages and sessions as well as our full course option. For schools wishing to block book for an alternative date, including twilight slots, please contact us to discuss the availability of our trainers and costings.
