Autistica Research Festival 2022: Education

Improving education provision for autistic children and young people is pivotal if they are to achieve their potential in later life. However, school environments and teaching practices are often not conducive to learning for autistic pupils, with a lack of understanding or effective training. This important topic will be the focus of this stream, exploring education and its practices in relation to autism and autistic people.
