Autism Courses by Attention Autism – Specialist Practical Training and Support
Autism courses by Attention Autism offers high-quality, specialist training courses designed to empower professionals, parents, and caregivers in supporting autistic children and young people. Founded by renowned speech and language therapist Gina Davies, the training is based on the Attention Autism programme—a highly regarded intervention that focuses on developing attention, engagement, and communication through visually engaging activities.
The courses are grounded in practical application, making them ideal for educators, therapists, teaching assistants, and families who want to create meaningful learning opportunities for autistic individuals. Training is delivered by certified Attention Autism trainers with extensive hands-on experience, ensuring that every course reflects current best practices and real-world understanding.
Core training options include the Attention Autism Two-Day Course, which introduces participants to the programme’s principles and provides step-by-step guidance through its four progressive stages. Attendees gain a strong understanding of how to capture and sustain attention, how to foster turn-taking and communication, and how to create irresistible learning experiences using simple materials.
In addition to core training, the organisation offers face-to-face workshops, online workshops, bespoke in-house sessions, and follow-up support, making it accessible to a wide range of settings, from early years classrooms to multidisciplinary therapy teams. Emphasis is placed on creating joy, curiosity, and shared focus—key ingredients in the learning process for many autistic children.
By focusing on the strengths and interests of autistic individuals, Attention Autism training promotes a respectful, person-centred approach that values connection, rather than compliance. Participants leave equipped with practical tools, renewed confidence, and a deeper understanding of how to support attention and communication in a meaningful way.
Whether you’re a professional or a parent, these courses offer an inspiring and effective way to make a real difference in the lives of autistic children and young people.
