Programme Manager - Autistic and OK, Ambitious about Autism

About Helena Rodgers

Autistic and OK is a groundbreaking peer-led programme that supports autistic pupils at secondary school with their mental health and educate the wider school community on autism.

Our programme aims to build a whole-school community where autistic pupils feel understood and accepted. I'm excited to connect with members of the SEND Network and hopefully bring the benefits of Autistic and OK to as many UK secondary schools as possible.

If you work for a secondary school, local authority or Multi-Academy Trust I'd be delighted to hear from you and happy to discuss how this programme might support your staff and autistic pupils.
