Autism & the Primary Classroom | Complete Parent Workshop & SEND Pack

I wanted this workshop to help parents understand autism without reducing children to a checklist of traits. It focuses on what adults might notice, the barriers an autistic child may experience in a primary-school environment and the practical adjustments that can make participation easier. I’ve designed the pack so schools can use it as a complete parent session, with the presentation supported by a handout, FAQ, strategies for home, signposting and the admin materials needed to organise the workshop.

A complete, ready-to-deliver autism parent workshop for primary schools.

Designed with a strengths-based and neuro-affirming approach, this pack helps families understand how autism can affect a child’s experience of school and home while recognising that every autistic child is different.

The workshop explores communication, sensory processing, predictability, change, emotional regulation, masking, learning, friendships and creating supportive environments.

Includes:

Editable PowerPoint presentation
Speaker/trainer notes
Parent handout
Autism FAQ
Practical take-home strategies
Trusted national signposting
Parent feedback form
Advertising poster
Editable invitation letter

The materials encourage positive home-school partnership and focus on understanding the need behind behaviour rather than trying to make children simply appear more compliant.

Suitable for SENCO-led parent workshops, SEND coffee mornings, inclusion events and parent information evenings.

Professionally designed and ready to personalise with your school’s details.
