Autism Centre

The Autism Centre was founded in 2017.

We work with many students who have an interest in autism. Our founder, who completed the MAPP Programme at Bucks New University  – is currently undertaking a PhD at Sheffield Hallam University Autism Centre, and he manages the Autism and SEND Training Service for POINT SEND as well as leading the Autism Training Sub-group for Oldham Local Authority.

The Autism Centre is currently researching the following topics:

• Courage and Autism
• Developmental delay
• Difference not deficit: A strength-based model
• Co-productive approach to language, policy and practice within a care / service environment
• Policies, drivers and levers
• Regulated Practice Diploma for SEND (Development stages of OFQUAL application)
