As part of the Autism in Schools project in Manchester, we want parents and carers of neurodivergent children and young people to learn more about autism, meet other parents and carers, and be better able to support the needs of their family.
We thus invite you to join us at this year’s The Autism Show, which will be held on the 24th and 25th of May at the Manchester Central Convention Centre.
You can request a ticket from us if you have a neurodivergent child or young person who goes to one of the Manchester schools participating in the Autism in Schools (AiS) project. The seven schools currently involved with AiS are:
- Co-op Academy Manchester
- Didsbury High School
- Levenshulme High School
- Manchester Communication Academy
- Southern Cross School
- St. Matthew’s Roman Catholic High School
- Trinity Church of England High School
What is The Autism Show?
The Autism Show is an annual event that brings together parents, carers, professionals and autistic people with autism-specific information, advice, products and services.
At the show, you can pick and choose from over 100 hours of talks, clinics and workshops, plus hundreds of specialist products and services. Once inside the event, all content is free to access and CPD certified for professionals.
What is Autism in Schools?
The Autism in Schools (AiS) project is a government-funded initiative that aims to improve support for autistic children and young people in mainstream secondary schools.
There are seven participating schools in Manchester – Co-op Academy Manchester, Didsbury High School, Levenshulme High School, Manchester Communication Academy, Southern Cross School, St. Matthew’s Roman Catholic High School, and Trinity Church of England High School – with potentially two more joining us later this year.
As part of the project, we aim to ensure that children and young people are supported better in the school environment; foster good relationships between and among staff, parents and students; signpost families to sources of information and support; and promote neurodiversity awareness and acceptance among young people.
