Reframing Autism Courses & Groups - Keep Me Informed 2023 Survey

Thanks for your interest in Autistic-led learning.

Reframing Autism currently offers a few different learning opportunities in addition to our regular events.

Autism Essentials a free, self-paced course that provides an overview of Autism in a neuro-affirming way. Whether you are Autistic, a family member or loved one, a teacher, professional or an ally, we encourage you to enrol and learn about Autism from Autistic people.
Parent Mentoring Groups which are currently offered once per term and meet 4 times over Zoom
A short course for Professionals on Emotions and Behaviour (currently sales are open for the April course)

We previously offered three different courses aimed at Autistic adults, families and professionals respectively. We have had hundreds of people apply for and inquire about these courses. Unfortunately, this level of interest has been many, many times more than the number of people that our small organisation (which runs through the dedication of a handful of part time Autistic staff) could support through the course model we were using. So we had to make the difficult decision to stop offering the courses and review our learning offerings in 2023.

We may offer additional courses and groups in the future if we receive the necessary funding to develop them - including offering more Professional Short Courses.

This form will allow you register your interest in our future learning offerings that may be offered in addition to the three linked above. If you filled out the previous Keep Me Informed survey we already have your details and you don't need to resubmit them.

The survey should take less than 5 minutes to complete.
