“Beyond Inclusion: From Participant to Professional”
BASE uniquely involves young autistic adult individuals as co-facilitators in our external delivery, offering paid, meaningful work experience to foster dignity and empowerment. This approach lays the foundation for a forthcoming autism employment program launching in 2027. BASE provides specialised training, workshops, and seminars (available as 2-hour, 4-hour, or 8-hour sessions, with a choice of in-person or online, alongside short talks and full consultations) covering several key areas, including:
-
Autism and Neurodiversity: Understanding, awareness, emotional regulation, anger management, sensory processing, and parental grief/support
-
Mental Health and Safeguarding: Addressing mental health disorders, promoting positive mental health, and disability safeguarding
-
Autism and Bereavement: Exploring anticipatory, disenfranchised, and complicated grief, grounded in theories from influential psychological theorists on loss, including: Freud, Bowlby, and Worden
Through our inclusive and collaborative model, BASE empowers young autistic and neurodivergent adults, by providing professional opportunities and delivering impactful, specialised training.
