How can schools support girls with Asperger’s or Autism? How can inclusive teaching practices support their wellbeing and ensure they thrive?

In this webinar, Victoria Honeybourne, author of Educating and Supporting Girls with Asperger’s and Autism, addresses the issue of how autism presents in girls and the measures that can make their experience better within schools and universities.
