Hi everyone!
I'm Joss and I work for national charity Ambitious about Autism on our Autistic and OK programme for secondary schools. Autistic and OK is a groundbreaking peer-led programme that aims to support autistic pupils 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.
Please do get in touch via messaging or email if you have any questions or queries, I'd be really happy to answer them!
As the UK's largest show in the sector, the Tes SEND Show brings together expertise from across the sector to help you bring learning alive for pupils with SEND.
Through a rich mix of content spread across two days, you will:
gain the latest policy updates and what recommendations mean for you in practice
take home tools and strategies at the cutting-edge of SEND provision
put your questions to policy influencers
share your successes and challenges with your peers
test the latest products and receive exclusive offers from exhibitors
The 2023 show saw a brilliant turn-out, with a packed floor of exhibitors, delegates and speakers. All seminars will be uploaded to the SEND Network video library.
Everyone should be able to feel OK at school. But we know this isn’t the case for many autistic pupils.
That’s why Ambitious about Autism, in partnership with Zurich and the Z Zurich Foundation, created the Autistic and OK programme. The programme is designed to empower autistic pupils to take control of their mental health and wellbeing, understand themselves better, and feel OK .
We developed our Autistic and OK toolkit to run this innovative peer-led programme. This free resource is available for every UK secondary school and can be downloaded from our website.
We're excited to be part of the SEND Network connecting with teachers and SEND professionals to bring the benefits of the Autistic and OK programme to as many autistic pupils as possible!
