What experience does this organisation or team have of autism:

Our team has extensive experience supporting autistic students in Alternative Provision (AP) and EOTAS settings. We work closely with clinical psychologists, ASD assessors, and speech and language therapists to ensure tailored support. Our provision is child-led, adapting to individual needs, including sensory, communication, and learning differences. We also provide SEND support and training to our tutors, ensuring a well-informed approach to autism-friendly education.
What experience does this organisation or team have of working with PDAers/ people who struggle with demands:

Our team has significant experience working with students who have Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) or struggle with demands. We take a child-led, flexible approach, recognising that students with PDA often experience high anxiety around perceived demands, which can lead to avoidance or distress. To support them, we prioritise autonomy and control, offering choices and presenting tasks in a way that feels non-demanding. We also use a relationship-based approach to build trust and create a safe environment, working closely with clinical psychologists and other specialists to develop personalised strategies. Our tutors are trained in PDA-specific strategies, ensuring we provide tailored support to meet each student’s individual needs.
How does this organisation keep their knowledge up to date:

We keep our knowledge up to date by participating in regular CPD training, attending relevant seminars, and engaging with the latest research in education and SEND. Additionally, we collaborate with specialist professionals and maintain active connections with industry networks to stay informed on best practices.
