What is a Champion?

An Autism Champion is a business, group, or organisation that takes part in our free training and agrees to make small adjustments that help make their space more inclusive for autistic individuals.

By completing the training and putting these changes in place, they build a better understanding of autism and become a valuable part of our community network. Autism Champions are able to pass that knowledge and awareness on to others within their business, team, or organisation, creating a ripple effect of acceptance and understanding across Dungarvan.

Training:

You will receive in person training with The Autism Friendly Dungarvan Committee. The in person training takes approximately 1.5-2 hours and will launch you on the path to becoming more autism friendly.

We will help guide you to make small but impactful changes & accomodations that will help create a more inclusive understanding environment for the Autism Community.

We hope you will feel empowered and enthusiastic following the training and we will be here to help support & guide you.

We can help you create social stories, visual guides and sensory accommodations.

By becoming an Autism Champion your showing your commitment to a more inclusive & welcoming Dungarvan.
