When School is Hard Autism Webinars Video Recording

What happens when school just doesn’t fit? For many Autistic students, the classroom can be a place of overwhelm, misunderstanding, burnout and feelings like they don’t belong. But with the right support, change is possible.

In this webinar, guest speaker Dr Siobhan Lamb, unpacks why school can be such a tough environment for Autistic students and what families and educators can do to make things better. Dr Lambs presents practical strategies, advocacy tools, and options beyond the mainstream to help you support your child with confidence and clarity.

We explore

• Why traditional school environments often clash with Autistic needs
• How to work with schools and advocate effectively
