Autism Teaching Company
Support for all on the Autism Spectrum
Autism – we get it
Covid 19
A message to our friends and clients.
In these difficult times AuTC has continued with its individual regular support by moving to the online conferencing platform, Zoom, in order to deliver our services, although we can deliver through Teams, Skype and Facetime if required.
During the lockdown we have also delivered online workshops and check ins with families and support sessions on areas of autism in the same manner.
This online support has worked extremely well, and we will be continuing with this service as well as resuming our face to face support in schools and homes, working in a Covid secure way.
We aim to continue our support for children and young people in schools, colleges and at home in a flexible, blended way, depending on the circumstances and restrictions as we move forward into the new academic year.
About Us
Who We Are
The Autism Teaching Company was established to meet the needs of individuals with autism and those who teach and care for them. We recognised a growing need to provide a more responsive and cohesive service. Our teaching team are all experienced professionals who have a wealth of education knowledge in the field of Autistic Spectrum Conditions. We have a range of skills developed from our teaching experiences in mainstream schools, special schools and ASD units, from Reception through to Sixth Form. We can provide tailored support and bespoke training for children and young people in their own homes, at school and in the workplace.
